Hi,

here the steps:
copy events.forms.php from /components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/ to /templates/[your front end template]/html/com_community/layouts/ ( create the folder if not exist yet)
edit it, at line 109 change the code
from

<div class="joms-form__group">
    <span><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EVENTS_LOCATION'); ?> <span class="joms-required">*</span></span>
    <input type="text" class="joms-input" name="location" required=""
        title="<?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EVENTS_LOCATION_TIPS'); ?>"
        value="<?php echo $this->escape($event->location); ?>"
        placeholder="<?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EVENTS_LOCATION_DESCRIPTION'); ?>">
</div>

<div class="joms-form__group">
    <span><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EVENTS_LOCATION'); ?></span>
    <input type="text" class="joms-input" name="location"
        title="<?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EVENTS_LOCATION_TIPS'); ?>"
        value="<?php echo $this->escape($event->location); ?>"
        placeholder="<?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EVENTS_LOCATION_DESCRIPTION'); ?>">
</div>

and edit /components/com_community/controllers/events.php, and comment out (put // at every code)
line 2117

if (empty($event->location)) {
    $validated = false;
    $mainframe->enqueueMessage(JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_EVENTS_LOCATION_ERR0R'), 'error');
}

and 2124

$event->location,
