How do I celebrate the Feast?
1. Choose a Site
You choose the Feast site that you’d like to visit and then start planning!
There are sites around the world, so there's probably one close to you. If you have extra money and time, you may want to consider other sites. Whether you’re ready for the beach, the mountains or another beautiful area of the world, there are many sites to choose from. Sites with a lot of international travelers will translate the services so that everyone can understand the messages.
Seven days you shall keep a sacred feast to the LORD your God in the place which the LORD chooses, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you surely rejoice.

2. Travel to that site to celebrate with others for seven days
God wants you to learn and enjoy your time during the Feast and have fun!
Get ready to make new friends this week! You’ll meet people every day at services who are also excited to be there learning about God's plan for mankind and who also truly want to get to know you. Plus, each Feast site is located in a millennial setting where there’s beauty, peace and fun things to do.
The Feast of Tabernacles gives me a chance to build relationships with people of like mind who are from all across the globe! This truly is a taste of the Kingdom of God.
3. Celebrate the Last Great Day on the eighth day
God’s merciful plan of salvation for all mankind is celebrated today.
We look forward to the time when all who have not had an opportunity for salvation will be resurrected to physical life and have a chance to live life according to God's plan in the world created by Christ during His millennial rule. God will then judge all people by their actions.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
4. Travel Home and Plan for Next Year!
God tells us it’s possible to afford the annual Feast trip by saving 10 percent of our earnings all year.
Feastgoers use this festival tithe for all of the Feast travel expenses.
And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
5. Discover the Rest of God's Holy Days and Festivals
God’s holy day plan is filled with more than just the Feast!
You can study the Bible to learn more about how God's festivals, starting with Passover in the spring of each year, picture God’s plan for mankind.
