Samsung: Turn Public Holidays On or Off in Calendar

If public holidays keep showing up in your Samsung Calendar even though you never added them, they are pulled in automatically from a signed-in Google Account. Which country's holidays appear depends on the region or language set in your system preferences, not on the calendar app itself. Turning them off means adjusting the display settings for that specific account, not deleting entries one by one.

Show or Hide Public Holidays in Calendar auf Samsung

Public holidays in the Samsung Calendar are not added manually. They come from a synced Google Account, and the country whose holidays get shown depends on the region or language selected in your system preferences.

This is why switching your language or region can suddenly change which holidays appear, even if you never touched the calendar settings. The holiday list itself is not stored locally, it is a subscription tied to that account.

To hide them, you need to disable the holiday calendar for that specific account rather than deleting single entries, since new ones would just sync back in.

Menu path

Tap on CalendarOpen the MenuTurn On/Off Holidays of the respective account

If you use more than one Google Account, each one has its own holiday toggle. Turning off holidays for one account does not affect the others.

If you actually want holidays from a different country, changing the region in system settings is usually a better fix than trying to add a second calendar manually.

Frequently asked questions
