Why do you not celebrate the Feast of the Tabernacle or other feasts mentioned in the Old Testament?

Christians are under the New Covenant established by Christ. Christians consider the Old Covenant to have been fulfilled by Christ and therefore that it is not necessary to observe ceremonial (which is very different from moral) laws that distinguished Israel from all other nations. Those laws, in the Christian view, have served their purpose and are no longer necessary. (This is not the same thing as changing the law - there was no change. Christ fulfilled the requirements of the law once and for all - it is no longer necessary to keep the observances just as it is not necessary to keep plowing after your garden is already planted and growing.)
Feasts were often required by the Law. The observance of the Feast of Tabernacle falls within this category as do most of the other Feasts/holidays mentioned in the Old Testament. Hence, the Feasts are treated as ceremonial laws by Christians and not usually observed.
It should be noted, however, that some Christians and many Messianic Jews do maintain some of the Old Testament observances (none relating to Atonement are observed by either group). They are the minority but they do exist.
