Duplicate calendar events often occur due to multiple calendar accounts being synced across devices or apps.

Additionally, ensure that automatic syncing is not duplicating entries between services like Google Calendar and iCloud. Regularly review and clean up your calendar to maintain order. If using third-party calendar apps, check for app-specific sync issues or updates that could resolve this problem.
