If you with "value" mean the content of the td-element, then you could do:

$(".EventAddress").text();

@AJSwift Nope. Val only works on textarea, input and select elements. For getting text is valid .text(); and .html();

@AJSwift No, .val() would not work, since it return the content of the value-attribute of an input element. Here's the documentation about .val(): api.jquery.com/val
