Can I get in on it or is it too late? are there any current events going on right now?
If you have an event arceus, take it to the ruins of alph, and you can get either a dialgia, palkia, or giratina.

It only works with the event arceus.
Adding to DT's answer, you can get two of the legendarys if you have both the event arceus and the hall of origin arceus.
