2. Select “Other”
3. Under Calendars, tap “Add Subscribed Calendar”
4. Paste or type a calendar feed URL here. (More about where to get these in a moment!)
5. If you want US holidays, paste or type the following into the Server field: http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/en.usa%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/full.ics
6. Tap Next
7. If you have entered a valid calendar feed, you should see a display that shows a Description, and allows you to enter optional information. Just leave those as they are and touch “Save”
8. Now exit Settings and go to the Calendar App.
9. At the top left, tap “Calendars” and put a check mark next to the new calendar in the Subscribed section.
10. Voila! You have holidays!
Repeat these steps for any additional calendars you may want to add.
