I’m creating a sidebar category widget that displays event categories. Ideally, it would only list categories that have upcoming events to prevent clicking on the category link and seeing a blank page. Is there any sort of query or functionality that would enable this? I’m just using wp_list_categories at the moment:

<aside id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
	<?php 
		echo '<div class="widget" id="widget-event-categories">';
			echo '<h2 class="widgettitle">Event Categories</h2>';

			$args = array(
				'show_option_all'	=> '',
				'orderby'			=> 'name',
				'order'				=> 'ASC',
				'style'				=> 'list',
				'child_of'			=> 0,
				'hierarchical'		=> 1,
				'title_li'			=> '',
				'show_option_none'	=> __('No categories'),
				'taxonomy'			=> 'espresso_event_categories',
				'show_count'		=> 1
			); 
			echo '<ul>';
				wp_list_categories( $args );
			echo '</ul>';
		echo '</div>';
	?>
</aside>
