I’ve been experiencing something odd with my Google Calendar recently. It seems that cultural events that used to automatically appear are now missing. For instance, Black History Month in February and Pride Month in June are no longer visible. Additionally, other important cultural observances that were once included are also absent.
This situation is quite frustrating because I depend on these reminders to keep track of significant cultural occasions throughout the year. Has anyone faced a similar problem? I’m unsure whether this is a glitch, a setting change, or a new policy from Google. What can I do to make these cultural events reappear on my calendar? Any advice would be appreciated.
I encountered a similar issue recently. My cultural events disappeared after a sync error, and it was quite frustrating. To resolve this, I recommend checking your calendar settings. Navigate to the ‘Add calendar’ option and explore the ‘Browse calendars of interest’ section. You should be able to re-enable significant cultural observances from there, as updates can sometimes disable them. Additionally, double-check that you’re logged into the correct Google account, as I’ve also experienced missing events due to being on the wrong account.
same glitch here. fixed it by turning off the ‘holidays in united states’ calendar, then turning it back on. google sometimes merges cultural stuff with the main holiday calendar - when it breaks, you lose all of it. check if your holiday calendar’s even on first. mine got switched off after an android update.
Been dealing with Google Calendar quirks for years at work - this one’s super annoying. What you’re seeing isn’t a bug. Google’s been quietly removing cultural events from their default calendars, especially when there’s political pressure.
Here’s what works: create a separate calendar just for cultural events. Import them from external sources like the Smithsonian’s cultural calendar or LGBTQ+ organizations with their own event feeds. You can set up subscriptions that pull directly from these sources.
For our team calendars, I keep a master list of important cultural observances and add them manually each year. Takes 30 minutes but they won’t vanish when Google changes policies again.
Reality check: relying on Google for cultural awareness was always risky. They’re a business first - cultural sensitivity gets dropped when controversy hits.
Build your own system and you won’t miss these dates anymore.
Hit this same problem last year planning diversity events. Google’s calendar settings are trash - they break every time there’s an update.
Manual fixes? They’ll just break again next sync. I built an automated solution that pulls cultural events from reliable sources and syncs everything across our calendars.
My workflow grabs data from cultural organizations and government databases - Pride Month, Black History Month, tons of other observances. Runs monthly to catch changes and updates everyone’s calendars automatically.
Best part? You can pick which events you actually care about and add your own company stuff. No more missing dates because Google changed something without telling anyone.
Automation beats hours of manual calendar fixing and you’ll never miss cultural events again. Pretty easy to build something like this at https://latenode.com
Same thing happened to me six months ago - it’s probably your region settings. Google Calendar shows different cultural events based on where you’re located and your language preferences. When I moved and updated my address, Pride Month and other observances just disappeared. Here’s what fixed it: Go to your Google account settings under ‘Personal info’ and check your location’s right, then clear your browser cache completely. You’ll need to wait 24-48 hours before the cultural events start showing up again. If that doesn’t work, Google might’ve messed with their holiday database for your area. They randomly remove or change certain observances without telling anyone. Try switching your location temporarily to see if events show up in other regions - that’ll tell you if it’s regional filtering or just a bug.
