I want to include a horizontal section at the very top of my site, above the header, that shows the next six events. I've created a custom post type called "events", and I've created about 150 events.

That's all fine, but what I'm having trouble with is figuring out how to create this new section above the header to get these events to display. Would I need to edit each page's PHP to add that? Or is there something more global.
