Yes, I can delete it or unsubscribe to it from my mac.... However it wont on my iphone. Theres a red "i" with a circle areound it. It shows it as subscribed. When I tap on it theres no option to to delete it. I cant delete ANY of my subscribed cals from my phone..... only from my mac. But because this one is not on my mac..... I cant delete it from my phone.

Have a look at the preferences for the calendar. The subscribed calendar accounts are listed by the email accounts. There are many options for the calendar app and the subscribed calendars. Maybe there is a option for deleting the holiday calendar (at the moment i have only iOS 6.1.3 by hand).

Also have a look at the calendar preferences at www.icloud.com.

Yes, I have went into there but its not listed. The only place I can see it is under push settings for email. This is the craziest thing. I almost think its an ios glich, but I can delete them from my ipad ( this calendar isnt on my ipad). I have went into icloud.com..... but none of my subscribed are there either. I could do a restore...... but im not sure it will fix this issue............

Same here - been into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and there are no "Subscribed Calendars" there. I know where they should be cause I've seen them before and I checked my wife's phone and sure enough, they were there. Seems like a bug to me. And I'm not sure a restore would help, cause the problem was there a while ago and I had to restore to upgrade and the problem still persists. However, Apple Stores won't help out.

I have exactly the same problem.


In the Calendar Prefs on a Mac running Mavericks, one can select "Show Holidays calendar" in the "General" tab. But this setting is seemingly only for the local Mac. One can use the Info panel of Mavericks Calendar.app to move this subscribed Calendar to an iCloud account, and then it sync's to other Macs/iPhones, but NOT to iCloud.com.


However, all these actions DO NOT affect the Holiday Calendar on the iPhone. For this one, one can only chose between show and do-not-show.


Result: as long as one has not all devices that one is syncing running Mavericks, it seems one will have a duplicated Holidays Calendar on the iOS 7.x devices.


ADDED: on Mavericks Calendar.app I can rename the Holiday Calendar, but this is not possible on the iPhone. Also, it seems that a color selected for the Holiday Calendar in Mavericks Calendar.app (and also a changed name) will not sync to the iPhone.

So we can't delete this new "Other" US Holidays calendar from ANYWHERE if we don't have Mavericks installed?! That is RIDICULOUS. I can't go to Mavericks for the foreseeable future, due to some software I need that isn't approved for Mavericks yet, and won't be for some time.


I'm already subscribed to a US Holidays calendar (which has many holidays this "new" one misses...like Father's Day), and this new additional one showed up magically after my iOS 7.1 update. I can only hide it, not delete it. I don't want to delete the old US Holidays calendar I've been subscribed to, as it's better, in my opinion.


The bigger issue is that this new US Holidays calendar wakes me up with alerts! I want this calendar GONE!!!

Actually, that stops the subscribed calendar from showing up in your Calendar app, but does NOT stop the notification alerts! At least not on my iPhone or my wife's. (Both 4S's running 7.1)


That issue is probably connected to the default setting for All-Day events, which I had set for a message 1 day prior at 9AM. I've changed that to "None". We'll see if that works. Still annoying that there's no "kill-switch" for this unwanted calendar and its notifications unless you have Mavericks.

In IOS 7.1 the holiday calendar is automatically included.

In Calendar App, tap Calendars (bottom middle), under OTHER, tap the tick mark to exclude the calendar not the i in the circle.
