On the Hebrew Calendar, it takes place on the 15th of Tishrei to the 22nd of Tishrei, so the month would be "Tishrei". On the Gregorian Calendar, there is some movement and Succot could occur anytime between mid-September and late-October.
It begins on the fifteenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, which occurs in September or October.

Succot (Sephardic Hebrew) or Succos (Ashkenazic Hebrew) is one of the three pilgrimage festivals of the Jewish calendar, when all Jews were to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, back before the Romans destroyed the Temple in the year 70. Succot begins in the fall, a few days after Yom Kippur, and lasts for 7 days, with an 8th day of assembly tacked on. For the 7 days of Succot, tradition asks that Jews live in a succah, a walled booth with a roof made of vegetation that is solid enough to shade the interior but flimsy enough that you can see the stars through it. This is why Succot is sometimes described as the Feast of Booths or the Feast of Tabernacles.
A type of Jewish booth built during the festival of Succot. The structure does not have a solid roof and it is decorated with fruit and leaves.

Pesach is the Hebrew name for Passover, the spring pilgrimage festival. (The ch in Pesach and other Hebrew words is pronounced like the ch in Bach and Loch Ness). This festival celebrates the spring barley harvest (a winter crop) and also recalls the Exodus from Egypt. In the years before the year 70, when Rome destroyed the Temple, all Jews were supposed to go on a chag (pilgrimage) to the Temple in Jerusalem 3 times a year, on Pesach, Shavuot (Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks) and Succot (the Feast of Booths). After the Temple was destroyed, these pilgrimage festivals became synagogue and home centered. Pesach and Succot, in particular, are dominated by activities done at home such as the Seder meal at Passover and building a succah (booth) to live in for Succot.
Succot is an 8-day Jewish fall harvest festival during which Jews construct temporary booths to live in (or at least eat in when the weather permits). One element of the Succot ritual is to wave palm branches bundles with willow and myrtle twigs while singing Hoshanot (liturgical poems where each verse ends with Hoshanna -- "save us" in Hebrew). The bundle is called a lulav, and it is held together with an etrog, a kind of thick-skinned primitive lemon also known as a citron.
Sukkot is commanded in the Torah (Leviticus ch.23). It commemorates the protection which God gave us in the wilderness, and it gives thanks for the annual ingathering of grain. It also marks the beginning of mentioning the rainy season in our prayers.
