Get date of the event

Hi,

I need to create a bloc where I display the 5 next events.

I’ve made a custom query :

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'event', 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'orderby' => 'date' );
	$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
	while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
		echo '<div class="home-event">';?>
			// DISPLAY THE DATE
			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
		<?php echo '</div>';
	endwhile; ?>

And I want to display the beginning date of the event.

Someone knows how I could do it ?

Thank you very much
