Absolutely! Jehovah's Witnesses believe in the entire inspired scriptures. And, because Jesus was a Jew, he celebrated it himself (so it was being celebrated for 15 centuries by the time of Jesus Christ).
The Passover liberated the Israelites from bondage to the Egyptians. And so, today, Jehovah's Witnesses observe annually the memorial of Jesus death on the date corresponding to Nisan 14 (the date Jesus observed the Passover and ended in the death of Jesus Christ).

∙ 10y agoPassover is a Jewish religious observance.
Since Jehovah's Witnesses are not members, they do not celebrate it.
However, as followers of Christ, Jehovah's Witnesses do commemorate the last evening meal of Jesus, as he asked them to do. Jesus and his apostles were celebrating the Passover when he instituted a new covenant with them.
(Luke 22:19) Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: "This means my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me."
Since the passover had been observed for 15 centuries by the time of Jesus death, this new covenant based on his death was also to be observed by his faithful followers.
Every year Jehovah's Witnesses commemorate the Lord's evening meal on the corresponding date to Nisan 14.
This observance is open to the public and no collections are taken.
