I haven't figured out how to set event times. But, for an all day event, here's an example.

Suppose you want to create the following event:

The link would be:

http://www.google.com/calendar/event?
action=TEMPLATE
&text=Fun%20Party
&dates=20161226/20161230
&details=bring%20your%20parka
&location=North%20Pole

Note the url encoding of spaces, etc.
