    Adding to my custom theme in functions.php:

    //filter recent posts widgets by category name
    function myorg_recentposts_events($args, $instance) {
    	$args['category_name'] = 'upcoming-events';
    	return $args;
    }
    add_filter('widget_posts_args', 'myorg_recentposts_events', 1, 2);

    Most important, return $args!! Spent an hour trying to figure out why my filter wasn’t working.
