Workspace and regular Google account users can now gain more control over their Google Calendar by adjusting their settings to show or hide holidays based on what’s relevant to them. Basically, Calendar has always shown all holidays to all people within reason, but a new update now makes sure that official public holidays that aren’t celebrated where you live – such as Thanksgiving Day in the United States, or the Summer Banks holiday in the U.K. – and even smaller, less official holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day won’t show for you or your organization if they don’t affect your workflow.
The two settings available to toggle are ‘Public holidays and other holidays’, or ‘Public holidays only’, and each option respects your region. If you haven’t checked yet, this is already available by default for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains and requires no action on behalf of Admins or users.
