Hi Willow, do you have any special characters, or quotation marks, in your Facebook name? I suggest you download the FB iCal file and run it through an online iCal validator. They don't pick up all potential issues, but they can help. If not, you'll have to start splitting the file in two manually in a text editor (keeping the iCal structure of BEGIN and END tags) and trying to import both halves. If a file fails to load, split in two again, rinse and repeat until you can narrow the problem down to a single event. Usually you'll find something in either one or several events which Google doesn't support, such as double-quotes or special characters in the CN field I mentioned first. Once you've found the problem then maybe you can fix it either by deleting the problematic event completely, or changing something in those events.

Thanks Neil!

OK, so using Soren's link I think I was able to download the ics file - but it looks nothing like what I was expecting... there's no real way to "split it in half". It looks nothing like the individual ics files FB sends you when you choose to export an event (as opposed to your whole calendar). Here's a link to the 42 pages of ics info from FB:

Hi Willow, if you paste the link from Facebook into the browser's URL bar it should download the ICS file, is that how you got it? I'll take a look when I get to my computer, but it's quite possible that emojis could cause this.

No. If I paste or click the link, all I get is a broken page. Nothing wants to download at all.

Hi Willow,

It didn't pass either of the the validators.

That's exactly what I'm doing...

Hi Willow, if the FB link doesn't even download a valid iCal file then the problem is clearly at Facebook's end, and you'll need to contact them to resolve it.

Grrr...which is of course impossible! 

Hi Willow,

You still think it's related to an event(s)? And not just a faulty link?
I am prepared to do that... anything to get this working again - it's kinda how I run my life!

HI Willow, what did FB support say about it? Did you already try downloading the iCal file on a different machine, different browser and different network, just in case?

Look.
I'm having the same problem. I had my FB events linked with my Google Calendar. Worked for more than a year. Now it's gone.
And I can't even find a settings option for events in FB. And if I try the events URL option in Google, the FB events are all wacky now.
Please don't tell us we aren't having this problem. It's borderline gaslighting.

Hi Stacia, I'm not saying you aren't having the problem, I'm explaining why it isn't Google's responsibility to ensure their system works with FB Events, but rather the other way around: if FaceBook users are unhappy with the Events feed FB provides because it doesn't work with Google, Yahoo or Whatever Calendar, they should complain to Facebook. If FB determine that their system is correctly formatting the feed, but that Google Calendar misinterprets it (there is a standard Calendar specification), they should resolve it directly with Google, or come to an agreement if it turns out to be a case of the iCal format being interpreted differently.

I've been working on this with another FB account - I've started to transfer my events to another account - and the .ics calendar download link is working correctly - unlike on my real FB feed where I'm getting that broken link...

Hello, 

I have the same problem and the new Facebook design doesn't show that export event feature...

There's no option for this on the new FB at all....any word??

I created script and everything, it even created calendar info Google but does not work. I'm afraid that problem is that its not possible to get direct *.isc link from facebook. Saroj Panda how did you get right link there to work?
