I had to do some real searching because 'feast of first fruits' is a Christian term. The holiday is actually called Shavu'ot.

Shavu'ot is celebrated by staying awake all night studying Torah and preparing to receive the Torah anew the next morning.

This is also the only holiday where traditionally only dairy foods are eaten. The reason being that as the Torah was received, we were now obligated to keep kosher. Since there were no kosher utensils to slaughter animals and cook them, dairy was eaten instead.
