   The normal "Catergories" menu drop down box is great, but I can't exclude certain categories from it, like with the "Pages" widget.

   Is there a code or plugin I can add in my sidebar to just display the child categories of a certain parent category?

   Whoop, solved it myself.

   <select name="event-dropdown" onchange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
    <option value=""><?php echo esc_attr(__('Select Option')); ?></option>
    <?php
     $categories=  get_categories(array('hide_empty' => 0, 'name' => 'category_parent', 'child_of' => 5, 'orderby' => 'name', 'selected' => $category->parent, 'hierarchical' => true, 'show_option_none' => __('Select Option')));
     foreach ($categories as $category) {
     	$option = '<option value="/?cat='.$category->cat_ID.'">';
   	$option .= $category->cat_name;
   	$option .= '</option>';
   	echo $option;
     }
    ?>
   </select>
