Calendar

Add Appenzell Ausserrhoden to your calendar by subscribing to OfficeHoliday's Appenzell Ausserrhoden calendar using iCal, the standard calendar format.

Why subscribe?

Subscribing to a calendar means you do not have to add a calendar each year and if holidays change, then the calendars will refresh weekly, so that your calendar always has the latest view. While there are public holiday calenders available in Outlook and Google Calendar, calenders from www.officeholidays.com offer extended information by showing regional holidays, highlighting non public holidays and giving a short description on each holiday.

We have set alerts on the calendar events to give you a reminder the day before about the holiday. You can switch off these alerts in the settings for the subscription. Even though individual events may still show an alert after you switch them off, it shouldn't trigger a notification. That certainly seems to be the case with iCal on Macs.

Step 1

Copy the calendar link

Click the 'copy text' button below.

Option 1: Show the name of the country in the title of each event.

 

Option 2: Hide the country in the title of each event

If you don't want the holiday events to show the country (eg 'Australia: Anzac Day') in the title, use the option below. If you will add more than one country to your calendars, we recommend to include the country (option 1).

 

Option 3: Include days that aren't public holidays

On some countries, we show days that aren't public holidays, such as Mother's Day. This feed will add any of those to your calendar. We maintain a more comprehensive list of these days on our sister site, There is a Day for That!

Users sometime report that subscribed calendars don't update in Google Calendar. We monitor the news on this issue and will happily reformat the feeds if we think that will improve the updating. One tip that is worth trying is to remove the calendar and add back with '&nocache' added to the url. (e.g. 'http://www.officeholidays.com/ics/ics_country.php?tbl_country=Appenzell Ausserrhoden' becomes 'http://www.officeholidays.com/ics/ics_country.php?tbl_country=Appenzell Ausserrhoden&nocache'
