Birthdays, holidays, and other calendars

Birthdays and holidays are automatically added to your calendar so you'll never miss an opportunity to celebrate. You can also add other calendars, including weather or sports team schedules.

Important: Starting in March 2019, you won't see birthdays of people in your Google+ Circles on your calendar due to the upcoming sunset of Google+. You'll still see birthdays of people in your contacts. Learn more.
