Combine Public Holidays From Multiple Countries

If you work across borders — a distributed team, family in another country, or clients in a different region — you need to know when everyone's offices are closed. Subscribing to one country's holidays at a time clutters your calendar with separate entries. iCal Merge combines them into one feed so every region's public holidays sit in a single view.

Why one combined holiday feed helps

Google, Apple, and a number of public sources publish each country's holidays as its own iCal feed — US, UK, Australia, and so on, plus regional ones like a specific Canadian province. On their own they're separate subscriptions. Merged, you get a single calendar that tells you at a glance when a holiday lands in any country you care about — handy for scheduling meetings and avoiding "wait, they're off today?" surprises.

Step 1: Find each country's holiday feed

Each region's public-holiday calendar has a subscribe or iCal/ICS link. Copy the link for every country (or region) you want to track. New to these links? The iCal feed explainer covers where to find them.

Step 2: Add them as sources

Create a calendar in iCal Merge and paste each link in as a source — one per country or region. Each event is prefixed with the source name, so a holiday shows which country it belongs to right in the title.

Step 3: Subscribe once and forget it

iCal Merge gives you one feed with every region's holidays. Subscribe to it in Google, Apple, or Outlook and it refreshes on its own each year — no re-subscribing when next year's dates are published. Share the same link with your whole team so everyone works from the same picture.

A quick tip

Some calendars give you a link that starts with webcal://. Paste it in as-is — iCal Merge handles webcal:// links automatically, so you don't need to change it to https:// first.
