The two races welcomed the festival because it usually results to a number of pregnancies that will add to their population. At the same time, they hated it because they couldn't remember anything about what happened during those two weeks. It was like having drunk sex with strangers every day for two weeks straight without having any memory of it afterwards. At first it may seem thrilling but I think, none of the unmarried male elves like being treated like disposable tools like this.
Most of the elves that were affected by the full moons also end up drained of almost all of their stamina and mana, their bodies marked with bruises and wounds, their private parts battered from all the strenuous sexual activity. Most of the men even end up being bedridden, extremely weak and sick for about a month after the festival.
