I'd try (on the old computer) using Calendar's "Export" function to export each of your calendars (to a .ics file). It's under the "File" menu. Then manually copy the .ics files over to the new computer and use Calendar's "Import" function there to bring them back in.

The actual Calendar data is saved in ~/Library/Calendars/ ... but I wouldn't suggest trying to restore the stuff in there except as a very last resort.
