Since they were gathered to celebrate the Jewish Passover, it is easy to determine the date for the annual observance. The Jewish passover was instituted to commemorate the night where the Israelites were spared of the "tenth plague" resulting in their freedom from their Egyptian bondage. The date was Nisan 14, in the year 1513 BC. (The original name for Nisan was Abib) This celebration continued for 15 centuries after the Exodus to Jesus time, and is still celebrated today among those of the Jewish Faith. So today, Jehovah's Witnesses use the Jewish calendar to calculate when the modern day equivalent of Nisan 14 is. According to the February 2011 Watchtower magazine, "Nisan 1 starts when the new moon nearest the spring equinox (the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere) becomes visible at sunset in Jerusalem. If we count 14 days from that event, we arrive at Nisan 14. This date is usually the day of the full moon." Using this Biblical method, the next Memorial (Nissan 14) that Jehovah's Witnesses will commemorate will occur on Friday, April 3, 2015.
