Well the hobbit movies invented the feast of starlight... mereth-en-gilith for the elves, wouldn't have a clue when in the year it is though since unlike with the LOTR saga he didn't add exact dates of what happened when in the year. And I would presume the elves also celebrated midwinter albeit in a very different way to the rest of middle earth. Presumably all elven holidays are in the open air, so Lithe would probably result in a banquet of sorts at daytime, and dancing probably in clearings filled with lots of flowers. Mereth-en-gilith would take place at night and would probably involve a lot of drinking, so probably just a clearing at night, not lit by anything but the elves would gather and share some good drinks while singing hymns to Elbereth and dance under the stars. Yuletime, not sure what the elves would do in winter, perhaps they'd have some kind of ice/crystal festival of lights and silver in reverence to Telperion.
