This is a quick tutorial to explain how to export an event from Facebook to Google Calendar. Here I will talk about a browser script that will help you export any Facebook event to your Google Calendar. It can save the name, time, and description of the event in your calendar in just one click. There is a simple browser script that can be run through Tampermonkey Chrome add-on to instantly export any Facebook event. And this script works in other browsers as well. Apart from Google Chrome, you can use the same script in Firefox and Opera.

But if you use the simple script that I have mentioned in the below post then you will be able to do that pretty quickly. It adds an export button on the Facebook event page that you can use. And it will take you to the Google Calendar page and will fill all the fields. You just have to save that.
