need post content to appear

on this page (https://www.goldcoastchamber.com/?page_id=31), the code below is used to show the posts for the Category 3. Right now the title and excerpt appear. But how do I get the entire content of the posts to appear???

<h2>Upcoming Events</h2>
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=3&order=ASC"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
