In the CFP it could, but in the event dates it is always local time respect to the event location.

const date = new Date(timestamp);
const year = date.getUTCFullYear();
const month = MONTHS_NAMES[date.getUTCMonth()];
const day = date.getUTCDate();
return `${month.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + month.slice(1)}-${day}-${year}`;
