When is the Feast Of Tabernacles in relation to our calendar?

      When was/is the feast of temples?{was... as it relates to ancient times} [is... as it relates to our modern calendar?

  The Bible refers to the FEAST OF TABERNACLES, but not to any "feast of temples."

Leviticus 23:34-36 says, "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THIS SEVENTH MONTH shall be the FEAST OF TABERNACLES for seven days unto the LORD. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein."

To figure out the Jewish months in comparison to our calendar, we can look at when the Jewish year begins. Exodus 12:1-11 says, "And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, THIS MONTH SHALL BE UNTO YOU THE BEGINNING OF MONTHS: IT SHALL BE THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR TO YOU. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF THE SAME MONTH: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it IN THE EVENING. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: IT IS THE LORD’S PASSOVER." So the Passover was observed on the fourteenth day of the Jew’s first month of their calendar year.

In the year 2000, Passover began on our April 20th. That would put the seventh month, when the Feast of Tabernacles was observed, in October.
