He does so in order to convince the crowd of his humbleness, and to milk in more attention from them. They repetively applaud his commendable humility. (He does actually want the crown though)

feast of Lupercal, a Roman festival of fruitfulness to the pagan god Pan.
The ides is the subdivision of the month on the Roman calendar. Some months is on the 13th of the month and some days it is on the 15th of the month. The feast of the Lupercal was festival that was a tribute to the god of fertility (our Valentine's Day is on the 14th of the month of February, no coincidence), and it is also a communal event. Shakespeare makes use of some historical fact that Caesar was assassinated on the 15th of March (ides of March), exactly one month from the feast of Lupercal (ides fo February). There is also the famous "beware the ides of March" line spoken by the soothsayer. In my opinion, the key to including the feast is that it is a communal event, in which Romans as a community become involved in the Tragedy by offering to Caesar the crown of emperor / king. This implicates the people of Rome in the tragedy (i.e. the death of the Roman republic). In this way the personal tragedy (Brutus' personal betrayal of the laws of Rome and of Caesar), is mirrored in by the community, who have already abandoned the ideals of the Republic in offering Caesar the crown.

In Act I of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Casca reports to Brutus and Cassius that during the Feast of Lupercal, Caesar was offered a crown three times by Mark Antony but refused it each time. The crowd cheered for Caesar, but Casca interpreted his behavior as a façade, suggesting that Caesar actually desired the crown but wanted to appear humble. Casca also notes that Caesar looked pale and faint after the third refusal, indicating his internal struggle with the power he craved. This event heightens the tension surrounding Caesar's ambition and the perception of his leadership.
