Values from custom meta boxes being repeated in posts

1. As I already stated, you should never use query_posts as it breaks the main query and pagination. Use WP_Query or get_posts for custom queries, if you really need the use of custom queries

   From your page template, I believe you are using the page loop for custom info and then your custom query to show your event posts.

   Just before I continue, pro tip, do not use : and endif and endwhile. Although it is perfectly valid php, it is hard to debug as code editors don’t support this syntax. Make use of the old faithful curlies. All code editors support them, and they make debug much easier

   This is what your code should look like: (I have removed the markup and template tags as frankly, posting from a tablet is not fun with all of that code)

   // Page main loop, the main query
   if ( have_posts() ) {
       while ( have_posts() ) {
       the_post();
   
           // Your markup and template tags
   
       }
   }
   
   // Add you custom upcoming events heading here
   
   // Now for our loop to show event posts
   $args = array(
       'post_type' = 'event',
       'posts_per_page' => 30
   );
   $q = new WP_Query( $args );
   
   if ( $q->have_posts() ) {
       while ( $q->have_posts() ) {
       $q->the_post();
   
       // Your custom loop markup and template tags
   
       }
       wp_reset_postdata();
   }
   

   EDIT

   Your completed code should look like this:

   <?php 
   /*
   Template Name: Event
   */
   ?>
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <?php 
           if (have_posts()) {
               while (have_posts()) {
                   the_post();
                   if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, '_ct_hdr_value') ) { ?>
