Technically You cannot accomplish this, but using a little trick may work (if you want only to display the events, not to select a date).

According the doc https://material.angularjs.org/latest/api/directive/mdDatepicker , you can use md-date-filter function(Date): boolean / Function expecting a date and returning a boolean whether it can be selected or not.

So you can for example put your date events in an array:

var today = new Date();
today.setHours(0,0,0,0);
var events = [
  today.getTime(),
  today.setDate(today.getDate() - 1),
  today.setDate(today.getDate() - 4)
];
$scope.filter = function(Date) {
  return events.indexOf(Date.getTime()) > -1;
};

And in your html

<md-datepicker ng-model="birthday" md-date-filter="filter" md-is-open="true"></md-datepicker>

You will get all the dates disabled except the dates indicated in your events, then add some style to customize it.
