I was told by the EA Support Agent I spoke to that this is something that can only be reported until it's removed from the game. There's no way to opt out or disable the event. It has caused the same issues you mentioned, the lagging, disability of the UI randomly. I've even been able to play continuously, yet couldn't access the calendar, simology panel, literally anything that opened to something else either won't open or completely crashes for no reason. These last few updates have been some of he the most harsh on gameplay.
