The Druidic festival/holiday is the Winter Solstice which falls usually on Dec. 21st or 22nd - if you want to check out something cool Druid/Winter Solstice wise check out Newgrange:

During the solstice, and only during the solstice, the length of the tomb is lit up by the rising sun; which illuminates the carvings and engraving in the deepest chamber - not bad for something over 500 years older than the Great Pyramid.
