Community Calendar and Subscription Information

The ARBC Community Calendar communicates events of broad interest to the general community that ARBC services.  If you subscribe to our calendar from your personal calendar application, it integrate events from ARBC Community Calendar with your own.  The synchronization protocol is iCalendar (RFC 5545), a widely adopted standard for exchanging calendar data.  The publicly accessible iCal URL that you enter into your calendar application is:

  • https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/c_4107990259bbdd67e1ad789f9a9e0af9ce8b54c6696d6a8120a4626fd4f6288b%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

Copy the whole URL (shown in red), from the “https” through the “basic.ics”, and enter it into your calendar application.  This URL is not a clickable link because many browsers are not configured to automatically subscribe to a calendar from such a link.

Note: Downloading/importing a calendar from a URL often only loads a one-time copy of the events on the calendar; you must use a subscribe function to receive periodic updates.  If your device/calendar application is not shown here, please refer to instructions provided by the manufacturer/publisher.

Google Calendar users, including Android device users using Google Calendar, may not be able to subscribe to a URL calendar.  If you are a Google Calendar user and you are having trouble subscribing using the URL above, here is a Google Calendar shareable link:

  • https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y180MTA3OTkwMjU5YmJkZDY3ZTFhZDc4OWY5YTllMGFmOWNlOGI1NGM2Njk2ZDZhODEyMGE0NjI2ZmQ0ZjYyODhiQGdyb3VwLmNhbGVuZGFyLmdvb2dsZS5jb20

Copy this whole shareable link and follow Google’s instructions for adding a shared Google calendar to your Calendar configuration.
