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. (-5[1])During a festival named (-5[1])after this period of time, kids play games called “Encircling a Toad” due to there being (-5[1])a three-legged toad in the moon. That Chinese festival named after this time period features offerings to the moon goddess (10[1]-5[1])Chang’e (10[1])(“chang-UH”), during which mooncakes (-5[1])are usually consumed. During (10[1])this season, Día de los Muertos (10[1]-5[1])and the related All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day are celebrated. For 10 points, in what season do people celebrate All Hallows’ Eve (10[1])and Halloween? (10[1])■END■ (10[3])

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.)
