Why does my calendar show a different full moon date?

It may use another time zone; the exact moment is the same.

Does the Moon rise at the same time everywhere?

No, moonrise depends on your location.

Is the Moon Phase the Same Everywhere? Time Zones and Hemispheres

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Yes. The phase depends on where the Moon is in its orbit, so everyone on Earth sees the same phase at the same moment. Two things do differ. The clock time, and sometimes the date, of an exact phase changes with the time zone: a full moon at 2:00 in London is 21:00 the evening before in New York. And the Moon looks rotated: from the Southern Hemisphere it appears upside down compared with the north, and near the equator a crescent lies on its back like a smile.
