JOHN 7:2 Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand

Jesus ignoredbypassed the feast of tabernacles by design. It was intentional. He did not participate, althoughand was not looking to fulfil this feast - although (in the end) he did travel to Jerusalem and engage with the people - which was expected as he was a teacher (Rabbi). It was ‘right’ that he was there as a spectator, but not as a participant.

Jesus is destined to fulfil all the feasts. But only some during this ‘first coming’. Pesaḥ (Passover), Unleavened Bread — Leviticus 23:6, First Fruits — Leviticus 23:10, Shavuot (Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost),

And, in this, - He was following the ‘lead’ of his Father

JOHN 7:17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

The next (as yet unfulfilled) feast is Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and then the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths — Leviticus 23:34. This

These will be a future fulfilment - in his second coming, so Jesus could not participate in these here at this time, here in John 7. 

These, including tabanacles, will be (that is, need to be) fulfilled in His second coming. They could not be fulfilled this time. Tabanacles (living or residing here on earth with his people) will be fulfilled in the Millennium. Jesus could have fulfilled this, but that would have required the Jews to accept him as Messiah, but because they rejected him, he could not participate in this feast at this time. It would have been inappropriate. Hence his reaction as seen in John 7.
