There is nothing built-in but you can search the web for an ics and import it.

KDE has a package with the data, would be nice if Sailfish calendar could use it. But I think it would also need new settings for where you actually are

This is how I did it. Not perfect, but it works, often for many years at a time, but when that runs out it needs to be done again.

What’s the name of the package?

I’m using Google calendar (SFOS calendar app using google account, configured as ‘CalDAV and CardDAV’). ‘Manage calendars’ in calendar app has “Holidays in Finland”. It is also visible in ‘Settings/Accounts/CalDAV and CardDAV’. Holidays are visible when selecting that option.

I have not installed anything related to this, so I assume it is a gift from Google (in exchange for my soul and privacy). So, perhaps not helpful unless having/using google account.

This is indeed another option using Google, thanks Kari. However, a privacy option is the preferred one. I did add the Finnish & German (no big difference, unlike in Finland are less) national holidays manually already in 2013 on my Jolla 1 phone. Since then, I carry them throughout all SFOS devices.
The great thing about the Jolla calendar in comparison to others i.e. Google, it shows the day of the chance for summer/winter time…coming again day after tomorrow.

I think summer/winter time reminder is coming from SFOS calendar itself (maybe via timezone/location info?). It is visible in calendar and stays there even when I deactivate holidays.

Ist that a new feature? Never noticed that before, but it’s shown.

Thanks. I was hoping it’d be a list easily convertible to .ics, but it’s more complex than that - apparently whatever apps use the files programmatically determine holidays for each year.

Sounds like a nice hobby exercise for someone, who has free time, to make a small program to convert these into .ics format…

Wink wink, nudge nudge.

I was thinking about it, but working with dates programmatically is a forking mess.

Also, these calendars already exist, e.g. here (remove webcal:// to just download the file).
