When I open the calendar app on my MacBook, the events from my Google Calendar do not appear as they normally do. Upon trying to refresh, I receive an error message that just says "The server responded with an error." I checked that my Google account is still connected to my Mac in Internet Accounts and that "Calendars" is selected under my Google account. How can I get my Google calendars to appear in the calendar app again?

My calendar is now working after I did the following.
Calendar > Preferences > Accounts > Google Account > Delegation > Select "show" for all boxes.
Not sure if this is what actually solved the problem, or just a coincidence, but it worked for me.

I don’t think it’s just you, north my wife and I are having the same issue. Haven’t yet found a solution. Yet, sync still seems to work fine on our iPhones. I’ll post again if I find a solution. Thus far, the normal steps like dumping the calendar cache and preferences has not worked...
Interestingly, each day at 15:30PST, my calendar stops syncing for the rest of the day, then when i get back to the computer in the morning, it's working again. As a geek, this makes no sense to me. Hmmmm.....
Side note, I've done all the possible solutions with preference / cache dumps and the delegation trick. Only seems to be band aid solutions.

I was able to solve this problem by going into my calendar preferences and changing gmail to my default calendar. Apparently the updates to Google and Apple changed this on me and now everything working again.
Problem solved, but not because of anything I did. This morning, opened my computer and discovered that my calendar was once again syncing correctly.
"They" may have fixed something on "their" ends?
Either way, happy (for now).
Sounds like I have the same problem, new in the last few weeks. About once a day for a while my calendars won't sync, and then they start working again. Right now I can't get anything to show up at all.
Happening to me as well on a regular basis starting about 3 days ago. I haven't noticed it as a daily occurrence, but it's possible that I didn't notice it yesterday. When it first happened, I waited till morning, tried to refresh, still nothing, so I deleted and re-added the accounts. That worked. Two days later and they're all broken again. Since the Google Calendar is working across other apps, I can only posit that the Mac Calendar app has a broken integration with Google's API. I updated to 11.2.2 in the hopes of a fix, but no luck. Doesn't seem to be Big Sur related because I was on Catalina when this first appeared and updated to Big Sur in hopes that the Calendar app had some Big Sur related functional updates that would solve the problem. Nope. Come on Apple... hooking into a Google API is like the 3rd day of class in computer programming 101.

I have yet to hear back from Google WorkSpace support's escalation regarding this issue.

FYI: I was first alerted to this issue with macOS Apple Calendar application error messages, and indeed, seeing the same error messages :
"Access to account “Google” is not permitted.
The server responded
“403”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
"
As I'm also an IT Consultant, with a paid for Google WorkSpace account, with support, I've registered this as a trouble ticket, and hope to have it escalated for resolution.
FYI: I was also able to reproduce this myself, directly, on 2 computers, with 2 different macOS versions, Mojave & Catalina (10.14 & 10.15), on BRAND NEW USER ACCOUNTS, created from scratch (ie: Thus, THERE IS ZERO CACHED DATA, nor account setup of any kind, so, it's all new), entered in my professional Google WorkSpace credentials, and the Apple Calendar application similarly fails to show ANY data at all, nor any error messages.
Hopefully Google WorkSpace support can escalate this issue, and get some attention on it, towards getting this issue resolved, as it appears to be a wide spread issue affecting many users on many different computers and various operating systems.
So, just to be clear, this is GOOGLE server side issues, and not client side, nor cache cleaning, none of which will work.
Thanks,
Daniel

I have had this problem for a couple of days. There were recommendations I found to delete the cache files from the Library\calendar folder. I did that but the problem came back.
Seems to happen around that time every day for me too. It's fine in the morning and afternoon and then stops syncing. Then the next morning it's back to fine again.
Lots of people with this problem here:
I had to go into the Calendar -> Preferences, then go to the 'Accounts' tab and enable the gmail account.
