A gerund phrase starts with a gerund, a word with ING, and includes other modifiers or objects. Gerund phrases always function as nouns. Thus, gerund phrases can either be subjects, subject complements, or objects in the sentence. 

To further prove that the gerund phrase serves a the direct object of the verb is, we can rewrite the gerund phrase into a proper sentence.

From: Drawing is Reagan's favorite thing to do.
To: Reagan's favorite thing to do is drawing.

Subject: Reagan's favorite thing to do
Verb: is

So I don't believe that it is common, though I do believe that many can be commonly misinformed. It's not the event that is to be mistaken, instead it is more common to find a misdated event. Does that make sense? So the title or name of the event is not mistaken for another, but instead I believe the date or the event itself can be misinterpreted. Since, in order to know exactly what happened, you need to be there, and at the same time, there are many different perspectives. If you need further explanation, just let me know.
