When is it? Is it this month?

[Cuiel Rilwen]

This is what I found on Encyclopedia of Arda:

Yestarë
The first day of the year

'First-day', the name used in the Elves' calendars, and those derived from them, for the first day of the year. The actual date of yestarë varied from calendar to calendar; according to the Reckoning of Rivendell, it fell on modern 28 March, while in the calendars of the Númenóreans and their descendants, its modern equivalent would be 22 December

So we might as well celebrate it now and then again in december just to be sure hehehe! :)
