For more than a decade, we worked with Timeanddate.com to show public holidays and national celebrations in the Google Calendar. A few years ago, the calendar team has handled the addition of a broader group of cultural moments in a large number of countries around the world. We received reactions that some other events and countries are missing – and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently at the global level were not able to develop or sustainable.
