When I display my Google Calendar on my site the times are shown as GMT.  How do I change them to Eastern?

The Calendar Time Zone was not set.

It still doesn't change.

I found out how to fix the problem - instead of inserting the calendar by selecting from your list of calendars - insert the url of the calendar at the bottom of the window (the link area) and it will display in the calendar's default timezone. hope this helps!!

My embedded calendar displays the wrong time zone. I have it set correctly in Calendar to Eastern but the embedded version displays pacific.Is there a fix other than changing to url ?

You can do this without pasting a URL. The tricky part is that Google calander has to timezone settings. One for general use and one for displaying when embedded in another website. That is what you want to change... You can find it Settings>Calendars>Shared:Edit Settings>Calendar Details>Calendar Time Zone.

This still isn't working for me.  The shared setting is correct but it shows up incorrectly.  Will try url insertion.

I had to go to the individual calendar settings and set it for the right time zone. Then I reloaded the calendar and it worked. Look under the individual Calendar[v] Calendar Settings

As it seems that we are going round and round in circles with this problem, in (too) many different discussions, maybe you can join "Incorrect Time Zone Showing In Site Calendar" discussion
http://www.google.ru/support/forum/p/sites/thread?tid=62ab56b85ccf536d&hl=en
because we have to join our efforts to try to move Google to do something, and there is a Google employee participating in this discussion.

There is a way to fix this problem using the calendar settings. I just encountered the same problem with my embedded calendar. Because Google allows you to have more than one calendar, you must specify the time zone for the general calendar settings AND the specific calendar. So, there are actually two time zone settings you must set: one under the general settings tab and one for the specific calendar. To fix, follow these steps:
1) From the calendar, go to Settings at the top and select Calendar settings.
2) You should be on the "General" tab. You will also see tabs for Calendars, Mobile setup, Labs. On the General tab, select your time zone for the field labeled "your current time zone."
3) Next, click on the "calendars" tab. Click on the name of the calendar that you have linked to your website.
4) You should now see the tabs Calendar Details, Share this Calendar and Notification. These are the settings for the individual calendar. Change the field for "calendar time zone".

My cal will display the corect time when embedded both in the pop-up and the "more detials" page. BUT the detials page displayed when you click on the link from the XML feed shows the GMT time which is +5 hours. I have read through this thread and others pertaining to the problem and verified that my settings are correct but it still displays incorrectly. It is correctly displayed in the feed. It's just the detials page that displays it in GMT instead of EST. Here is a url for the public xml page. Thanks for looking into it.

I had the same issue and I also tried the same feedback in this thread to set the timezone on the general setting and the specific calendar (my personal one). This didn't actually work for me since I kept getting GMT instead of PST. At that point I had my personal calendar and I was subscribed to the generic US Holidays calendar. I ended up unsubscribing to the shared US calendar for a different reason (lots of duplication after I entered my work holidays in my personal calendar) and now I never see GMT again and I only get PST. At this point, I am not sure what timezone was set in the US Holidays calendar but if you are sharing it too then consider checking what timezone that is set to and just dump that one if you don't really need it.

The problem could be the TEMPLATE GADGET! I had this problem with GMT displaying, and I took almost every step suggested here, but the calendar displayed on my site (refugee-crafts.org) still wouldn't change from GMT and it still showed all of the holidays, even though I was no longer subscribing to that calendar.

I remembered that when I set up the page, I had used a template with the calendar gadget already embedded, and that this gadget used the US HOLIDAYS calendar. I pulled up the HTML and could see it, but I'm not that HTML proficient, so I didn't know how to modify the code. No problem. There might be a more efficient and elegant way to do this, but this worked beautifully (check my site--you'll see).

1. I went to my regular Google account, chose "calendars," and then clicked on "Settings" then "calendar settings" up top.
2. I clicked on the tab for "calendars"
3. Under "My calendars," I clicked on the little calendar icon next to the calendar name I wanted (it has my email address as the name, and the icon is just to the left of that).
4. Under "Calendar Details," you'll see an option (sixth one down) for "EMBED THIS CALENDAR."
5. Copy the code displayed in the box.
6. Go back to the page on your site where you wanted the calendar.
7. You should be in "edit page" mode.
8. Click once on the graphic that shows the table/spot where the calendar displays and then choose "REMOVE" from the little menu that pops up. Yes, remove what's there because the HTML that goes with the gadget needs to go.
9. Click on the little HTML option in the editing task bar near the top of your page and then do a "ctrl V" command. The code you copied from your calendar settings in step #5 will now be the new HTML.
10. Click save.

Save the page and you should now have the right thing showing up.

Got it!  p.e.s. 061411 has the answer.  Why was it so complicated before reading his easy solution?

The problem, it appears, is not with the Calendar, it's with the time zone setting that Google Sites uses.  I finally noticed that any update which I made showed up in Pacific time (I'm in Eastern).  Here's how to set the time zone for Sites:

-  Click on the gear tooth icon at the upper right
-  Click on User settings
-  Change Time Zone to the one you want

That's all it takes.  My time zone finally says Eastern Time instead of Pacific Time.  

All this after going around in circles with embedding and calendar replacements, none of which worked.
