Well, don't you like the "default" org-mode:
with the number of days (1/3) ?

I think your org file should be structured better

The documentation:
12.9 iCalendar export
appears quite clear to me:
"The export will honor SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION
properties
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
if the selected entries have them. If not, the summary will be derived
from the headline, and the description from the body (limited to
`org-icalendar-include-body' characters). "
