Yizkor
A yahrtzeit candle is lit and yizkor is said on Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, the last day of Passover and on the second day of Shavuot. For more info on Yizkor practices see Yizkor: Recalling the Dead.

Holidays
I would like to know the Hilidays that I should light Yarziet
The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus all holidays observances begin the night before the dates listed. The exception to this rule is fast days, which begin at dawn of the date shown below (aside for Tisha b'Av and Yom Kippur which also begin the night before). Jewish calendar dates conclude at nightfall.
