It's Purim!
In my opinion, the festival of Purim is the most fun of all the Jewish holidays.  The story of Queen Esther is told from the Megillah.  Children (and grown ups!) dress in costumes and put on skits (or Purim Shpiels), make loud noise every time Haman's name is mentioned (Haman = bad guy in story), give gifts of food (shalach manot) to friends, and eat hamentaschen!
