In the Calendar app on your Mac, choose File New Calendar, then choose an account for the calendar. Name the calendar, then press Return. If you can’t add a calendar for a particular calendar account, try adding a calendar on the account provider’s website. For example, to create a Google calendar, go to google.com.
