How can I mimic Aperture's Event view in Lightroom 5?

I'm moving from Aperture to Lightroom 5 and have a large library organized around Aperture's Event view. In Aperture, I could browse events visually, which made it easy to find images without relying only on folder or collection names. Does Lightroom 5 have a built-in way to approximate this, or is there a plugin/workflow that can help recreate an event-style view?

You can sort by date and then create a smart collection ....

Lightroom 5 doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Aperture’s Event view. The closest built-in approach is to organize photos by capture time and use Lightroom’s existing grouping tools.
Two common ways to approximate it are:
- stack by capture time, so photos shot close together are grouped visually
- sort by date and build collections or smart collections based on date ranges or shoots
This won’t look exactly like Aperture’s event browser, but it can give you a similar workflow for browsing shoots as grouped sets rather than only by text labels. If your main goal is quickly locating images from a session, date-based sorting plus stacks or smart collections is likely the best Lightroom-native solution.
