While the date as noted in the "Seinfeld" episode titled "The Strike" is December 23rd, Festivus is now celebrated throughout the year. Many college campuses have their celebrations on the Saturday before schools close for winter break.

Festivus has truly become a "holiday for the rest of us" and as such there is no longer a date limitation.
