Which jewish festival is the most well known?

Non-jews, which jewish festival do you know the most about?
hannukkah
yom kippur
the passover / pesach
rosh hashanah

But then again I did grow up in a predominantly Jewish area, and had an elderly Jewish lady who lived with us when I was growing up. I've had many Jewish bosses over the years, and my step-father is Jewish (I don't know him very well, he only became my step-father in 2016, but still).

I'm not Jewish at all though, I'm Roman Catholic.

In my mind the most important ones are Passover & Yom Kippur

vaguely aware of some others like Hanukkah and 'the noisemaker one' (Purim)

Probably Hanukkah (Festival of Lights) and Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year).
Yom Kippur, Purim, Sukkot, Lag BaOmer and Pesach are also quite well known amongst non-jews.

Passover because it coincides with Easter for the Catholics?
