Event

The event hasn't started yet and it's tomorrow, so I say:

I didn't know the event started at noon. Or

I didn't know the event starts at noon.

Should I stick with the same tense or since the event hasn't started yet use starts.

Are you trying to say that in the past you didn't know when the event was to start? (Although you know it now). Perhaps: I didn't know that the event was to start at noon today.

I'm trying to say that I didn't know tomorrow's event is at noon time. The event hasn't happened yet. It's on the next day.

So should I say:

I didn't know that
