aCalendar offers built-in, official public holidays for over 50 countries (some with subregions) as well as school holidays for select countries. Here is how to configure them and troubleshoot date issues.

1

Adding Holidays to aCalendar

Unlike some cloud calendars, we stick strictly to official dates. You can set them up via your main calendar list:

1

Configuration Steps

Open the main menu, go to Manage Calendars, and tap the + button at the bottom. For public holidays, you can also use the direct add button at the top of the list.

2

School Holidays

After successfully adding a public holiday calendar, the app will automatically prompt you to add the matching school holidays, if they are available for that country.

Wrong or Missing Dates

If you notice incorrect holiday dates or duplicates, it usually means you are displaying data from an outside source rather than aCalendar's built-in lists:

Verify the Source Calendar

Open the event details and check the very top. Calendars provided directly by aCalendar are marked with an a, while calendars from Google Calendar are marked with a G. If a Google holiday calendar keeps returning after you turn it off, you will need to disable it inside the official Google Calendar app.

Reporting Errors

If you find a genuine error within aCalendar's own dataset, please contact us and provide a reference to an official regional source so we can update it.

Important Exception: We do not offer built-in public holidays for Israel directly inside aCalendar due to the high difficulty of finding reliable, English-language source data. You can subscribe to Israeli holidays via Google Calendar.
