Holi is showing up in the "US Holidays" on my calendar. I know Apple wants to be accurate so please remove this or advise how I can remove this. I don't need Non-American holidays filling my calendar.

Maybe but it's not a US holiday. US holidays are not determined by population. Respectfully, Hindu or any holiday other than a US holiday have no importance to me. I would say Most Americans don't want to have them cluttering our calendars.
So what happened was slightly over a week ago Apple changed the calendar so it was strictly secular. Then this web site was full of Christians complaining about the removal of the "American holiday" Easter from their calendar. Go figure, Easter isn't any kind of official holiday. Anyway, a week later Easter reappeared but so did a bunch of other days, this time representing the entire diversity of the USA instead of the traditional mention of only Christian events. It isn't that Apple's calendar is changing to to be a "global calendar" as davidfrommobile writes, it's the US that is changing to be more diverse and has been ever since its inception.

I think this series of discussions provides a different perspective on federal holidays: Feb 2018 post by Michael Black - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8293223?answerId=33068171022#33068171022 - "technically the US Federal Government Holidays are not national holidays since Congress only has powers to create holidays for federal institutions. So strictly speaking, the USA has no legally recognized national holidays." If you're interested in more along those lines https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8293916?start=90&tstart=0 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8296222?answerId=33080568022#33080568022 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8296222?answerId=33081933022#33081933022
I'll add a note that although Washington's birthday federal holiday was last week, this is not widely observed and in my city services such as garbage pickup continued on a normal schedule.

Sure there is, hence why employees in the private sector are often paid more to work on these holidays if they are not able to given off. And why non federal employees need to be aware of these dates to plan for their garbage pickup, mail, banking, etc
Those are specific choices made by an employer. There is no specific obligation for a non-federal employer to consider giving someone a day off. I've worked for some employers where all our "paid time off" was lumped into one basic accrual. You want to take a day off on a typical holiday and it comes from that time. You want to show up for work and get paid (even if almost nobody else is there) that's an option.
Mail is specifically a federal function. Garbage is not. My garbage pickup is done by a private contractor and they don't even announce what their holidays are. We only find out when they don't pick up and then know that it's shifted to the next day. Holidays can often be negotiated by a union, or in the case of state workers specified by state law.
Hi canine2, have you received any update from Apple on removal of Holi from the US Holidays Calendar?
Thanks,
Brad

Maybe its for the 3 million and counting Americans that are Hindu?
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but it is just your opinion.
It is a holiday celebrated by several millions of Americans, I for one do not intend to deny their beliefs, much as I do not deny you your prejudice.

Thanks but It really has nothing at all to do with my opinion. I simply want an accurate calendar
And you want us to take your opinion on what that is?
Nice try.
Thank You for the information Limnos

I'll thank the Lord for small mercies.
No, Holi is not a U.S. holiday. If it has been declared so then cite your source.
