Tossup

The Japanese food botamochi is called ohagi when eaten during this period of time; that food is eaten during [emphasize] Shūbun no Hi, a festival in this period of time when people engage in tsukimi. During a festival named after this period of time, kids play games called “Encircling a Toad” due to there being a three-legged toad (-5[1])in the moon. That (-5[1])Chinese (10[1])festival named after this time period (-5[1])features offerings to the moon goddess Chang’e (10[2]-5[1])(“chang-UH”), during which mooncakes are usually (10[1]-5[1])consumed. (10[1])During this season, Día de los Muertos and the related All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day are celebrated. For 10 points, in what season do people celebrate All Hallows’ Eve and Halloween? ■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: fall [or autumn; accept Mid-Autumn Festival; accept fall equinox; accept autumnal equinox; prompt on September or October or November by asking “to what larger period of time does that month belong?”] (Botamochi and ohagi are essentially the same food, but are called differently whether eaten in the spring or fall, respectively.)
