The Living Church of God has announced its USA sites for the Feast of Tabernacles (a major Fall pilgrimage) in 2011:

Branson, MO

There will probably also be sites, as there were in previous years, in places such as India, Myanmar, Nigeria, Kenya, Peru, and possibly Thailand and elsewhere. Somewhere between 40 to 50 (and perhaps more!) sites are expected. For detailed information about some of what was available in 2010, please see the article LCG 2010 Feast of Tabernacles’ Information.

Speaking of 2010, here is what LCG reported about that Feast of Tabernacles:

Our final Feast of Tabernacles attendance figures show that more than 8,000 people attended the Feast at 46 sites in 31 countries. The attendance at sites in the USA increased by 7.5% over last year, and the attendance at international sites increased by 3.6%. This amounts to a 5.7% increase worldwide, which is exciting to see. (Living Church of God World Ahead, Weekly Update, October 21, 2010)

LCG had growth in its attendance in 2010 and likely will also in 2011.

The first service for the Feast of Tabernacles would be after sunset on the 12th of October and the last service normally would be on the afternoon of the 20th of October in 2011.
