      Thanks, Sdetweil. I gave up on the default calendar. But Google has its own US holidays calendar, and cutting and pasting that link worked. All’s good!!

        @shelbyville ok… ‘default’ calendar and ‘google holidays’ are different things…

        ‘default calendar’ sounds like the module.

        if you were using your OWN calendar link, then it should be the PUBLIC ICS URL of your calendar…
        because the mirror application is NOT running as any email user, the calendar MUST be public so anything can download it.

          @sdetweil, sorry for the confusion. I’ve never done anything like this before, so maybe I misspoke. What I did was, in the calendar module section of MagicMirror’s Config.js file, I just copied the calendarlabs section a few times and pasted in my own urls. I put my gmail’s public .ics url; the .ics url for the Google holidays calendar; as well as a school calendar’s public .ics url. They all seem to be playing nice together and show up as one list of events.

              I am currently having this issue as well. I have tried the above suggestions with no luck. Anyone still having this issue or may know how to help?

              All modules working except for calendar. Calendar is a public .ics. Have tried a clean reinstall of my pi and am stuck at the same point.

                  @sdetweil Yes, when I copy/paste URL in browser I am able to download the ics file. I am trying to get my Magic Mirror to update when I update calendar via Alexa. The default calendar in the Magic Mirror config file nor my public Google calendar show up. I am just getting “US Holidays; no upcoming events”

                    @ryanschaefer14 ok, the default holidays calendar was for 2018. Not 2019.

                    There is another. I don’t know what the link is myself.

                      @ryanschaefer14 does the url start with webcal://

                      If so, change to https://

                        @sdetweil Oh that makes alot of sense.

                        The google calendar I have been trying is in the format:
                        https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/....................gmail.com/public/basic.ics
                        I have made it public as well.
