That's not an array but an object.  
Is it just one element of an array of similar events?

You can use moment in a Change node, though I'm not familiar with the syntax. There is an example [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/using-moment-in-change-node-jsonata-test-results-in-an-error/37995/5)

So a split, a change node applying your reformat change to msg.payload.event\_date and a join should work.
