Hi, there are several ways you can do this. The easiest for me is to use
your Google account to do it. Basically go to
http://mail.google.com/mail/h and log in with your gmail user name and
password. Then choose calendar. Now go to settings for the calendar
section. The US holidays, plus other fun ones like star dates and
sunrise/sunset times are there. Chose the one you want to subscribe to
it. Now, on your iPhone, if you don't already have your gmail account
set up, add it from Settings, then Mail section. There are many messages
on this list on adding a gmail account to your iPhone. Or, you can
google for it. Once added, you will see options for mail, contacts, and
calendars and notes. Turn on calendars on for sure. This will make the
calendars you subscribed to on the web site appear in your iPhone
calendar. It's cool because they appear as normal all day events. I have
the sunrise/sunset calendar plus the US holidays and star dates
calendars set up on mine. Now, if you don't have a Google account, or
you don't want to do it the cool way according to my opinion, then you
can go to settings, then the mail section. Choose add, and then choose
other. Then choose calendar and then type in the direct ical link to the
calendar you want. There are hundreds of calendars on the intertubes you
can get. The following link is one such which gives instructions.
