Yes, of course Jesus kept the feasts. After all, He lived under the old covenant. The new covenant could not take effect without His death:
"And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives." - Hebrews 9:15-17

There was nothing wrong with the first covenant (other than our inability to keep our end of the bargain as it was meant to be). That said, this one’s a better deal.

So, you chose to NOT do what your master did, because you tradition has overturned the commandments of G-d. Read John 13-15 and tell me what kind of disciple that would make you.
