- The Sabbats -
The 8  Wiccan Sabbats are celebrated by Wiccans and some Pagans.
The Sabbats have multiple names, and some dates may vary by a few days (due to different paths).
Samhain

- Oct. 31 -
Samhain is a celebration of the dead, the harvest, and is the Wiccan New Year.

Yule
- Dec. 21 (or whenever the solstice is) -
Yule is the equivalent of Christmas. Christmas is actually dated at this time because of the dates of several Pagan holidays are all around this time and the church wanted to convert people easily.

Candlemas/Imbolc
- Feb. 2 -
Candlemas is the sabbat about welcoming spring. Of course, here in Wisconsin you couldn't tell.

Ostara/Eostre
- March 20 (or whenever the equinox is) -
Ostara is equivalent to the commericialized Easter. Same thing with the Easter date (and name) that you find with the whole X-mas/Yule thing.

Beltane
- May 1 (or around April 31) -
Beltane is the last sabbat of the three (Candlemas, Ostara, Beltane) in celebration of spring. It also marks the change into summer in the two season calendar.

Midsummer is the Solstice and the celebration of the beginning of summer.

Lammas

It is  an in-between stage of Summer and Autumn.
