Tribe Events Taxonomy query

I created a page template that queries events from a category (tribe events plugin) Instead of replicating the template for every single page category, I would like to include a multi select checkbox so the template pulls in a query of whatever categories are checked off in the page settings.

I set up the field called “category” but I am not sure how to incorporate it into my query

             
<?php 									
					
global $post;	
$events = tribe_get_events(
        array(
            'eventDisplay'=>'upcoming',
            'posts_per_page'=>-1,
            'tax_query'=> array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
                    'field' => 'slug',
                    'terms' => 'entertainment'
                )
            )
   ) );
 ?>
		
		
<div class="div-tiles" id="event-wrapper">	
				
<?php foreach ( $events as $post ) {
    setup_postdata( $post );  ?>

            
<div class="tile-link w-inline-block">
 <div class="tile-link-content">
<a href="<?php echo tribe_event_link(); ?>">
 <div class="div-tile-link-thumb">
 <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $event->ID, 'full' );?>
                                                                               
 </div> </a>
                                
<div class="datebox"> <img alt="decorative slant image" class="slant-img" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/slant-top.png">
                                    
                                
<div class="event-date"><?php echo tribe_get_start_date( $post->ID, false, 'F d' ); ?></div>
                                    
<div class="slant-element"><img alt="decorative slant image" class="slant-img" src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/slant-bottom.png">
 </div></div>
                                    
<div class="tile-link-text">
<a href="<?php echo tribe_event_link(); ?>" class="nodecoration"><h3 class=" less-top-margin link-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h3></a>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<a class="btn" href="<?php echo tribe_event_link(); ?>"><div class="button with-left-margin with-top-margin">learn more</div></a>                                    <a class="btn purple" href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_meta( get_the_ID(), '_EventURL', true ); ?>" target="_blank"><div class="button with-left-margin with-top-margin">buy tickets</div><!--
</a>
       </div>
     </div>
 </div>
                        
 <?php }  wp_reset_query(); ?>
</div>

Assuming your “category” field is a taxonomy field and the return type is term_id. then you can try:

$events = tribe_get_events(
        array(
            'eventDisplay'=>'upcoming',
            'posts_per_page'=>-1,
            'tax_query'=> array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
                    'field' => 'term_id',
                    'terms' => get_field('your_category_field_name')
                )
            )
   ) );
