Your iPad calendar doesn’t come with holidays included in it. This can be a pain when trying to figure out your schedule or when to plan upcoming events. Follow these easy instructions to add holidays to your iPad.
- Go to Settings on your iPad.
- Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Tap on Add Account.
- Choose Other.
- In the Calendar section, tap on Add Subscribed Calendar.
- For the server, add: http://ical.mac.com/ical/US32Holidays.ics
- Tap Next, then Save.
- Open your iPad calendar and tap Calendars in the upper left corner.
- Select US Holidays.
That’s it. In less than 30 seconds you can schedule the rest of your year with confidence.

Excellent tip and one I wouldn’t have thought about until I planned something over a holiday and didn’t know it was a holiday. Thanks!
Excellent tip…works great
Hello
Do you need account for this to work? Does this work on iPhone 4?
thanks
You do not need an account with Apple for this to work. Follow the same instructions to add US holidays to your iPhone.
