Have you tried something like this

+StartDate;[20180301000000 TO 20180331000000];March
+StartDate;[20180201000000 TO 20180228000000];February

The example is in https://docs.kentico.com/k10/configuring-kentico/setting-up-search-on-your-website/using-search-filters#Usingsearchfilters-Conditionalfilters

Examples:

;;All
+classname;cms.smartphone;Smartphones
+_created;[{%ToSearchDateTime(CurrentDateTime.AddDays(-7))|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}];Past week
+_content;product;Results related to products
+(documenttags{0} OR _content{0});product;Results related to products
-(issecurednode:(true) OR requiresssl:((int)1));;Exclude secured pages

But your design requires you to update the filter list every month as you move forward in a year. You could consider either create folder for 12 month, or add a drop down field to select month. Then the filter would not be based on actual year, but just the month.

Thanks Rui Wang for reply

Sorry i am no clear what you said "You could consider either create folder for 12 month, or add a drop down field to select month. Then the filter would not be based on actual year, but just the month."

Could you explain more details?

Thanks

Create folder like the following and store events in them. Then you filter will basically pull events from each sub folder.

Events
-- Jan
-- Feb
-- Mar

Or your Event page type, add a EventMonth field as a drop down where editor can select Jan, Feb, Mar. Then index EventMonth field as searchable. Then you filter for search would be

+EventMonth;Jan;January
+EventMonth;Feb;February
+EventMonth;Mar;March
