My calendar has been saying "Happy Birthday!" on the wrong date for a couple of years now. I thought with udpates or something it would work itself out, but it's still there! I've tried removing my birthday from my Contacts, double checking that the correct birthday is recorded everywhere else... I can't even delete the stupid event! I want to still show the Contacts calendar so I can see other people's birthdays. How do I get rid of this???

Hello bwells0804,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like the birthday is recorded incorrectly. You've reached the right place for help.
Here are some suggestions:
If it is iCloud or Contacts, edit your contact again to the correct date. Make sure to follow the path Settings > [your name] > Name, Phone Numbers, Email > Birthday
If it is another type of account like Google or Yahoo, make sure the birthdate is correct on those calendars. You might have to go to their websites to edit it.
Thanks and have a great day.

Thank you, @chris_g1!! My birthday was right everywhere in my Apple settings, but it was the "Contacts" calendar and your comment made me realize that calendar is associated with Google (even though it doesn't say anywhere). It turns out my birthday was wrong in my Google info and I was able to change it. Thanks so much again!
