If Christ came to fulfil the Law, then no you're not under obligation to keep the Jewish holy days. Although I find acknowledging them and learning more about them has been very educational and a good spiritual experience that helped me understands why I do many of things I do as a Christian.

Forget opinions! Go for facts. In the book of Acts, there is mentioned the decision of the Council at Jerusalem. It's in chapter 15. The Jews were wondering if Gentiles had to become Jews to become Christians (or, followers of Jesus, without the term 'Christian' because it wasn't in use yet.) The Council at Jerusalem decided that no, the Gentiles didn't have to become Jews or observe Mosaic Law. There were four things the Gentile followers did have to observe, however:
abstain from sexual immorality
do not eat meat from strangled animals
do not eat food sacrificed to idols
do not eat blood.
Keeping the various Jewish feasts and festivals was not on this list. Go have a read and see if this answers your questions. I'd suggest starting a chapter or two ahead of this and reading a chapter or two after it, too, to get the context.

You're talking about the Jewish Holy Days.
Christians have their own Holy Days to celebrate.
Our Easter is based on the Jewish Pass-Over.
Pentecost was originally a Jewish harvest celebration.
This was all clearly decided in the early days of the Church.
Just as we switched to Sunday from the Jewish Sabbath.
Peter decreed that few Jewish customs applied to Gentiles:
We must refrain from eating meat offerred to idols,
drinking blood, or eating meat from strangled animals.

No, we are not under the Mosaic Law anymore. The only thing we should observe is the Memorial of Jesus' death (keep doing this in rememberance of me.....etc.)

As Christians (Christ-like), we should strive to be like our namesake. JESUS CHRIST NEVER instructed His followers to stop honouring GOD's Holy Feasts. Rather JESUS celebrated them himself.
The glory in celebrating these feasts, is that they point to the Messiah, our Saviour, JESUS CHRIST. And to celebrate them, we can learn more ways to honour and love our CHRIST.
For us, celebrating these feasts is simply a way to honour our Saviour while learning more about Him whom we serve. Do NOT think of it as a task that you are being forced to do...rather think of it as way of worshipping and loving a GOD who loves us.

Oh, Christ! This question is 95% theological if you ask me and needs to be answered somewhere where theology is more highly investigated and understood.

I don't know anyone who celebrates any of those, but I've known people who say "any excuse for a party!"
