All of my events have disappeared in the new Photos app for OSX Yosemite

Question

I have just upgraded OSX Yosemite and have been looking at the new Photos app. It seems all of my events have disappeared. How do I get them back?

The best option for working with events is to use the sidebar (cmd + alt + s or view → Show Sidebar). They will be listed there:

Without using the sidebar they are listed in the Albums section:

Thankyou. Can I ask a related question... Should I be using Events or Albums? Say I go to the Zoo with my family, take some pictures and then import into Photos. Is that an Event or an Album? I always used Events with iPhoto.

@rf_wilson Please ask this as a new question. No one can easily answer (or even see in many cases) a follow on question buried in the comments.

@rf_wilson think that's more personal preference, but I'd say go with albums for Photos. They are more easily accessible in the sidebar for drag 'n drop for example.
