Remove time zones from Calendar

Does anyone know how to hide the time zones? This is for the Calendar App on MacOS, Sierra. Time zones don't show up on icloud.com, but they do when I use the local app on my machine. Cutting and pasting code, as suggested in other discussions, into Terminal just renders and error in the Terminal app.

Thanks, but that doesn't do the trick, even after quitting and re-launching calendar. Additionally, I like the features of time zone support and I wouldn't want to lose that functionality.

Oddly, as I continue to add events to my calendar, some show the time zone and others do not.User uploaded file

Thank you! The article that you sent me showed me how to adjust time zones on individual events. After reading that and looking at my calendar, I realized that the only events that were showing the time zone were ones created by my wife on her iPhone. Those on iPhone and on the MacBook weren't showing the time zone. Why?

Because, it's Apple!

She was creating events in Eastern time (New York) while my devices are Eastern time (Detroit). Last I checked, those are, in fact, the same time and have been for quite a while. Alas, because Apple has multiple cities in the same timezone and isn't smart enough to figure out that they are the same, it was messing up my calendar.

So, your response didn't directly solve my problem, but the article helped me to explore a bit deeper. Many thanks.

By default, Calendar events are displayed in your computer’s current time zone (set in Date & Time preferences). However, you can change the time zone and set individual events to use a different time zone.

If you change your Calendar’s time zone, new events use the new time zone. When you switch back to the time zone that your Mac is using, events created in the other time zone keep that time zone. Any other events return to their original dates and times.

For example, you might temporarily switch to Eastern Time to schedule a Broadway play during your upcoming vacation. When you arrive in New York, you’d switch your calendar to Eastern Time. Back at home, events you added while in New York would keep the Eastern Time zone. Other events would return to their original dates and times.
