Fast loads: the widget paints cached events immediately, then refreshes. It fetches about four months at first and loads more as you navigate.

Connect a public calendar

Firesky reads Google’s public iCal feed. Titles and descriptions only appear if the calendar is public with See event details.

Open Google Calendar → Settings for that calendar.
Under Access permissions for events, check Make available to public and choose See event details (not Free/Busy).
Open Integrate calendar and copy the Calendar ID (or the public URL) into Dashboard → Widgets → Google Calendar.

Turn on public access and choose See event details. The organization checkbox can stay gray — that is not what Firesky uses.

Copy the Calendar ID from Integrate calendar.

If See event details is grayed out, a Google Workspace admin has to allow public calendar sharing in admin.google.com (Apps → Google Workspace → Calendar → Sharing settings). Use a dedicated public events calendar, not a staff person’s primary calendar.

Requirements
