Export them to Excel, do a Find and Replace, and import them back to
Outlook.

OK....thanks, could you be more specific? How could I do this step by step?
Going to File>Import/Export didn't seem to allow me to export calendar events.

it should if you chooses export to file and follow the steps in the wizard.
personally, I think it's easier to just ignore the location tag or create
your own holidays.

Edit the Holiday file to remove that phrase, delete all your holidays, and
then add them again using the modified Holiday file.
