The Rambam’s words

For a person to bring all the sacrifices for which he is liable, be they obligatory or voluntary offerings, on the first pilgrimage festival that occurs, as [Deuteronomy 12:5-6] states: "And you shall come there... and you shall bring there...."

להביא כל הקרבנות שיש על האדם בחובה או בנדבה ברגל ראשון שפגע בו, שנאמר: "ובאת שמה" (דברים יב,ה), "והבאתם שמה" (דברים יב,ו).

Why · Sefer HaChinuch #438

That one brings all of his vows on the first festival

“It is from the roots of the commandment [that it is] because it is not fitting for a person to be lazy about that which he has vowed to do for a commandment, as is well-known among people.”

Who & when

“And this commandment is practiced at the time of the [Temple], as we had permission then to do vows and promises and there was a place for us to sacrifice [them].”
