Holi is not a US Holiday. It is mislabeled and looks like an error. I am not Hindu. How do I get this unwanted event off of my calendar?

Neither are Christmas or Easter, but you don't see those of us who are not Christian getting all bent out of shape about those, do you?

There are technically no such thing as "US Holidays". The federal government does not have the authority to establish those. They can establish "holidays" observed by federal government workers. That is all.

If you don't like the holidays included on the standard holiday calendar, then unsubscribe from it and go subscribe to one that suits your particular prejudices.

There are a number of holidays on the US Holiday calendar that some people would not consider US Holidays. However, that does not change it. If the content of the Apple Holiday calendar are not to your liking, you can remove it from the calendar list, and subscribe to another. You cannot delete individual holidays on a subscription calendar. You can just turn it off and subscribe to one that meets your needs. See this site for assistance, http://icalshare.com/

Holi

Hindu luni-solar calendar month marking the spring, making the date vary

with the lunar cycle. The date falls typically in March, but sometimes late February of the Gregorian calendar.

GAAAAAH. We have to go through this again?! It started last year. The Apple US Holidays calendar includes holidays for the 5 religions most practiced by US CITIZENS in the US. That includes, Christian, Eastern Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu. If you don't like it don't use the Apple US Holidays calendar. Just uncheck it in calendar settings, and chose one of the many calendars available on the Internet that supports your prejudices. Just for your information, ALL of these religions are represented by members of Congress.

Why is it a prejudice to be confused about something one doesn't know about.

The above is not a statement about being confused. Nor does it suggest you don't know about something. and are looking for clarity.

Because it is a holiday celebrated by hundreds of millions of Hindus around the world. Here's some information about this fun holiday-->https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi.

It can not be removed. Are you suggesting that Hindus are not permitted in the U.S.A?

Why is it a prejudice to be confused about something one doesn't know about. Don't jump to conclusions. Must be hard to go through life being continually suspicious.

I know. My father was like that.

Perhaps you should look up the meaning of the word.
