I believe you are asking about the Neo-Pagan celebration of Lughnasadh, also called Lammas. It is a religious "holiday" which occurs August 1 of each year. As with all Pagan holidays, the changing of the seasons marked the holidays. It is a time of rest and to celebrate and give thanks to the Sun for the summer's bounty and for hard work well done. It is the first harvest of the year - somewhat akin to our "Thanksgiving".
On this continent we celebrate corn harvesting but our Celtic ancestors celebrated the first wheat harvest. Preparations for the Breads and cakes needed to get people through the upcoming year were utmost in everyone's mind.
"Lammas Eve" is the time just prior to August 1, perhaps the day/evening prior to Lammas/Lughnasadh. Preparation planning for approaching winter is on our minds as the sun rises further to the south and nights become longer - marking winter's approach.
Blessed Be!
