So, I've found myself with some free time on my hands and I was browsing through my copy of the 4707 A.R. Golarion calendar that someone else had made. Well, with the Rise of the Runelords AP (soon to be) coming to a close, and with the Curse of the Crimson Throne starting soon, it seems like we'll soon need a new calendar for 4708 A.R. So, using this person's 4707 calendar as a base, I made a quick and dirty 4708 calendar, and I thought I'd share.
Find the new calendar here: 4708 AR
Don't expect anything fancy from it, but it should keep your dates for the new year consistent. :)
Some things to note:
1. I tried to keep the lunar cycles consistent with those of the calendar from 4707. I have no idea whether those cycles (or my own) are considered canon or not, so take that as you will. I did NOT take into account any eclipses for 4708, so again, if something in the canon suggests an eclipse for this coming year, I haven't (yet) noted it.
2. For convenience's sake, I based the dates of the equinoxes and solstices off of the dates listed for our own (real world) 2008 calendar. If this doesn't entirely match up with canon, either, be so warned.
3. In the 4707 calendar I based my own off of, the original author noted two holidays which I am unfamiliar with. These holidays are Perihelion on Abadius 3rd and Aphelion on Sarenith 2nd. For completion's sake, I kept them in the 4708 calendar on the same dates that they fell on in 4707. However, if these holidays (or the dates they're celebrated on) are not canon, please feel free to disregard them.
With all that said, enjoy, and please let me know if there's anything else I can add/modify - or if I've made some errors as it pertains to the "official" record.
Enjoy!
Note: I'm posting this in both the Rise of the Runelords forum as well as the Curse of the Crimson Throne forum, to hopefully help DMs running either campaign.
Fantastic! I was looking for something like this just a few weeks ago, and I couldn't find the person who had done it.
My thanks!

Perihelion and Aphelion are not holidays. They are when Golarion is closest and furthest from the sun, respectively. Those dates would general shift a few days back and forth from year to year based due to the calendar being a fixed system and the planet traveling at a constant speed.
