How can I add a yearly recurring event on the last Saturday in a specific month?

Question

Just as the title says, how can I add a recurring event on the last Saturday in August in Google Calendar?

Answer 1

Create your first event on the appropriate day.

Then, on the "Event edit" screen, open the "Repeat..." menu.

1. For Repeats:, choose "Monthly"
2. For Repeat every:, choose "12" months
3. For Repeat by:, choose "day of the week"
4. Choose whatever other options you need, then click "Done"

This might get a little tricky if a month has only four Saturdays and that's what you use, as Google might not know whether to select "fourth Saturday" or "last Saturday".
