Gods Kingdom will begin its seventh month with the first visible sliver of the moon (new moon), the evening of September 28th, 2011. You can find the outline for Gods Calendar in the book of Leviticus ch 23. The first day the KINGDOM observes the Feast of Trumpets. October 7th at twilight the 10th day, known as the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur begins. The fifteenth day, October 12th, 2011 at twilight the Feast of Tabernacles begins. This feast lasts eight days concluding at twilight October 20th. This is the last great day spoken of in John 7:37-38: Jesus stood and cried out saying, "If anyone thirsts let them come unto Me and drink. He who believes in Me as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

There is some debate as to whether the upcoming set of celebrations are the head of God's year or if they take place in the seventh month.  As we consider this question let us weigh Yahweh's words with it.

Deut 4:2   You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God.    NKJV

Lev 23:4 'These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.   NKJV

The Hebrew word (mik-raw') translated  "convocation" meaning, "The persons, places and acts of a public meeting.  A reenactment or a rehearsal 

I am using the list from Leviticus 23 but there is a similar list  in Numbers chapters 28 and 29. Please note that New Moons are included (Numbers 28:11-15) as an appointed time but not as a convocation or rehearsal. They are not included in Leviticus 23 which only lists rehearsals and reenactments.   

Because our topic is the timing of these feasts, and because of the length of this portion; I am only showing sections that relate to proper timing. For better understanding, please read these chapters for yourself.

Lev 23:23-36   Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,  "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.  "Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. 

These feasts are supposed to be done in the seventh month, not the head of the year.

Are these rehearsals or reenactments done at specific times to communicate a special message?   The first month on the Kingdom's calendar is "Aviv" matching today's March- April time frame. The message embedded in the reenactments begins here. 

On the previous page I have shown the correlation of these early convocations with Christ's ministry. After Pentecost there is a significant gap in our time line when no rehearsals are called for. Now we enter the seventh month. Seven is the number of completion and speaks of the conclusion of God's redemptive plan for mankind.

On the first day, Yom Teruah or the feast of Trumpets; points to the gathering of Yahweh's servants from the four corners of the earth at the sound of a trumpet. On the 10th day, Atonement or Yom Kippur points to Bema and White throne judgments. On the fifteenth day,  Sukkot or Tabernacles signals the completion of The Lord's redemptive plan for man.  

Rev 21:3-4   Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. NKJV

We choose to post dates of Kingdom holidays well in advance giving our readers the greatest possible chance to arrange their schedules. Some day we will live in the Kingdom so if we don't come to work or keep our appointments because of a holiday, everyone will understand. Until then, planning gives the best chance for participating in His holidays.
