I get a lot of invitations via Facebook, but I keep track of my schedule with Google calendar. Is there any way to automatically import or sync my Facebook events to my Google calendar?

There's an article on this here. I've not checked that it works, but it seems pretty straight forward. The essence is that instead of importing the calendar, you add the URL of your event feed as a public calendar - here's a summary of the steps:
- In Facebook click on "Events"
- Click on "Export Events" and copy the URL
- In Google Calendar go to "Add" under "Other calendars" and choose "Add by URL"
- Paste the URL you copied from Facebook and click "Add"

If you run into issues with private events not showing properly then check out eventbusyfix.info. This site acts as an inbetween to clear the private flag and enable Gmail to show them properly (Thanks to prestomation for this tip)

Hope that helps!
You can do this by clicking "Add | Add by URL" at the bottom of the left nav on your google calendar homepage.
Figure: Adding an iCal to sync is as easy as adding the URL
You will be asked to choose to sync with your main calendar or a new named one, but if you stick it in the main calendar you should then get it on your other devices.

Best Answer
You can get an iCal link for your Upcoming Events (or Birthdays) that you can import into Google Calendar which will automatically stay up to date.
In Facebook:
Go to the lower right portion of the page, where you'll see a message with two links:
Save the URL for the Upcoming Events link. (This will vary by browser/OS, but is generally something like right-click and Copy link address)
The URL should be similar to:
(Your actual uid and key values will be different, of course.)
In Google Calendar:
Scroll down and open the Other calendars menu (on the left)
Choose Add by URL
Paste the webcal URL in the URL space then Add Calendar
You should now have a calendar {Your Name}'s Facebook Events listed under Other Calendars and can change the color, details, etc. as needed.
