In most Spanish‑speaking countries ‘súper’ is a colloquial intensifier, similar to ‘super’ in English. It’s perfectly natural in spoken language and on social media, but you’ll want to replace it with ‘muy’ or a stronger adjective in formal writing. Also, ‘evento’ is a neutral term that can refer to anything from a concert to a business conference, so the phrase works across many contexts.
