From what I have observed and experienced, if you join a group of believers who honor the Appointed Times, you might find that it is very much like an old-fashioned camp meeting, if they are using a camping venue, or more like a conference, if they are using a resort. Gatherings likely include familiar hymns and songs, and the speakers present topics having to do with health, Bible study, and especially the meaning of God’s Holy Days. Smaller gatherings at a home are more informal.
Some groups spend most of the day learning and studying together; others allow families to make a vacation out of it by leaving half the day open for adventuring nearby. Some groups follow more of the Hebrew traditions than do others.
Most groups are friendly, welcome newcomers, look normal, even casual; a few may wear a tallit, kippah, or tzitzit. There is much rejoicing and thankfulness for what Yeshua has done, and anticipation of the final fulfillment of God's salvation timeline as depicted in the Holy Days. A few groups are more closed than others and require permission to attend, while others are happy to have anyone join in.
For 2016, according to the calendar many follow, Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread will be April 22-30. Others will wait for the barley to be at the right stage in Israel before they know the dates.
My page, Interesting Links, lists some locations where Christian groups celebrate God's Holy Days. I am hoping to find many more of these locations.
