Thanks, guys. It should have been obvious to me, but wasn't.
I found the correct result was returned with either
AND event.DateTime <= 'May-1-2019 24:00'
or
AND event.DateTime::date <= 'May-1-2019'
The latter seems best.

Well, no, since the implied value of the constant is 'May-1-2019 00:00'.
If you only want 1-day precision of the comparison, maybe you should cast
or truncate the timestamp down to date.
