Esbats are the solstices and equinoxes. They are the times in which the seasons and such change. Most know them as Sabbats, but the techical term is Esbats. There are four total. Litha is the Summer Solstice, Ostara is the Spring Equinox, Mabon is the Fall Equinox, and Yule is the Winter Solstice. Each of them are celebrated in their own ways.
Litha is actually tomorrow. It can be celebrated in many ways by pagans and those who aren't. You could go pick flowers, have a cook-out, just take a walk and enjoy nature, etc. For those who are Pagan, it is also a time that you could dedicate or rededicate yourself to your path on Litha. If you don't plan on doing that, just take the time to enjoy and appreciate all that Mother Earth has to offer.
Sidenote: I got the part about Litha from my Teacher/Mentor/Friend, Rose. It's not exactly word for word, but it's close. I just wanted to give her credit where credit is due.
Blessed Be!
