Thunderbird only requires an internet connection if you configure email accounts or online/synced calendars. It is capable of running in offline mode(You can even set the default to offline), and I do this all the time with my laptop. Just a correction of facts, I realize this doesn't solve your issue of wanting a good standalone offline calendar. A quick look through the package manager shows a few options but most seem to be very web dependent. Chandler and KOrganizer came up as some options to explore based on a web search.
