The megillah of Esther is read on Purim.
Good times.... ;)
I'm guessing that is what you are referring to, as it's the most commonly known one.

Esther ... Purim
Song of Songs....Pesach
Ruth..... Shavuot
Ecclesiastes... Sukkot
Lamentations...... Tishah B'Av (I'm not positive on this one but Lamentations seems to be connected with the destruction of the Temple)

Purim.
It's the story of Esther saving the Jewish people from the king's assistant Haman
