Q: iCal 'Show Holidays calendar' not showing holidays in Australia after upgrading to Yosemite.

I'm seeing this too, on a fresh install of 10.10.1.  The tick box in preferences is there for "Show Holidays calendar", but toggled on or off, the calendar does not appear.  I can see Birthdays, and I can see Events and Birthdays for Facebook, along with my iCloud and Google calendars.

hello

same thing on my yosemite system.

i think this bug started to occur after the last update (10.10.1)

before that, the holidays caldendar (as determined by Region) was working on yosemite.

holidays calendar DOES work correctly in iOS 8.1.1 on iPhone, even with Region and Current Location and Language Preference all being different.

I had the same issue and after spending hours trying to figure it out I've figured the solution is to go to View and select Show All-Day Even

THANK YOU!!!!!  I've been trying to get birthdays to show in my iCal for weeks - since it suddenly and mysteriously stopped.  As you suggested, I just went to Calendar>View>Show All-Day Events and presto!  all the birthdays listed in my Contacts suddenly reappeared!  I don't know why googling this problem doesn't provide this easy solution.  Thanks again!

Nope. Doesn't work. In the preferences of the Calendar app I've toggled on the holidays (picture 1) but in the calendar itself it doesn't show up (picture 2).

Anyone a solution? :-)

Thanks!

So, basically. There is still no solution, eh. Guess we'll have to add this to the long list of quirky issues...

Cheers,

Same thing here on OS X 10.10.3

It was not corrected in the latest release. I now subscribe to a feed from www.officeholidays.com until Apple fixes this. I guess they are busy building a car...???

Hi guys,

I had this problem too. I resolved it by going into System Preferences  > Language & Region and making sure the primary language was "English (U.K.)" under primary languages (i.e. at the top of the list of preferred languages).

I always had this set before, but I think upgrading to Yosemite changed this setting to "English" (without the "U.K.) which I guess is a generic "countryless" language. I believe the holidays setting in the calendar needs to know which country's holidays to display.

Hope this helps this waiting for a fix...

I've got the exact same problem and have tried changing the primary language to English (U.K.) but unfortunately this hasn't solved the issue. I'm still not seeing the holiday calendar in my iCal.

Correction: I've managed to get it working again! I had the language set to English U.K. but the region set to Netherlands. When I changed the region to match the language (United Kingdom) and restarted Calendar I suddenly had the UK holidays in there. I quit Calendar, changed the region to Netherlands, started Calendar again and then unticked and ticked the Holidays Calendar setting. And its back!

I guess we shouldn't make it too hard on Apple, lets all decide to use one language and one region....

Thanks Owsters and Jhieminga, your suggestions didn't work for me but were a good try. My workaround for this was to subscribe to the US Holiday calendar, https://p24-calendars.icloud.com/holiday/US_en.ics

Has anyone found a fix for this yet, this used to work fine on my iPhone, however it doesn't work on my iPad or Macbook Air. If I change my Region (Settings - General - Language & Region to either US or Canada it shows the correct respective holidays calendar, also works on Macbook Air. However if I change it back to UK it doesn't show the calendar.

I have been on with Apple Support who have no clue, don't even seem to fully understand the problem. Anyone had any other luck? I have also submitted it to Apple Feedback, hopefully they pick it up.

Interestingly, if you change the URL in the above post to https://p24-calendars.icloud.com/holiday/gb_en.ics it is a valid file and you can download it, opening it up it does contain the correct UK dates. Just strange no iOS or OS X device can actually connect to it automatically as it should.

i went from my 5 to 6 yesterday and had this same problem us holidays weren't showing so i subscribed on ical us calendars on my mac and clicked on iClou checked the box and it popped up on my 6. i really don't get what happened but as an early educator i like to make plans for those extra days off! hope you can fix yours not my OCD can ease up!

This worked for me!

Thank you.
