Make a Google Calendar Public to Share It
First of all, you can only share your Google calendar from a computer or web browser in desktop mode. Still, this option isn’t available on the Android and iOS apps. It’s a bit of a mistake, and I hope it gets fixed in the future. At the moment, there’s no good way to get around this.
To get started, visit the Google Calendar website and look for the “My Calendars” area on the left side of the page. Move the mouse over the calendar you wish to share, click the menu icon with three dots, and select Settings and Sharing.
You must first allow anyone with a link to view your calendar. This is probably not the best option for the majority of people, as the calendar will also appear when people Google your name. If this does not frighten you, you can enable this feature by selecting the Make available to public checkbox in the Access permissions for events section. Then select Get shareable link, click Copy link, and send the link to whomever you wish.

Under Share with specific people or groups, click Add people or groups, enter the email addresses of the individuals you wish to share your calendar with, and define their permissions (see only, edit, etc.). Click Send. Google will then automatically add your calendar to the other calendars section of their accounts.
