Sukkot was commanded by God (Leviticus ch.23). It commemorates the protection which God gave us in the wilderness, and it gives thanks for the annual ingathering of grain. It also marks the beginning of mentioning the rainy season in our prayers.

Where do Jewish pilgrims go during Sukkot?
Since the destruction of the Temple 2000 years ago, there has been no requirement to make a pilgrimage.

Some people journey to Jerusalem (specifically to the Western Wall) during any one or more of the above festivals, but this is not presently an obligation.See also:Jewish festivals
What blessing do you say after sukkot?
Many people are saying to each other "Have a good winter". The reason for that is that the end of Sukkot (after the 8th day) sybolizes the official start of the winter season and the next holiday from the Three Pilgrimage Festivals, known as the Shlosha Regalim, is Passover which always falls in the Spring (March or April). Therefore this blessing forms kind of a bridge between Sukkot and Passover.
