Round 8: Tossup 5

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 (10[1])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 in the moon. That Chinese (10[1])festival named after this time period features offerings to the moon goddess (-5[1])Chang’e (-5[2])(“chang-UH”), during which mooncakes are usually consumed. (-5[1])During this season, Día de los Muertos and the related All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day (10[1])are celebrated. For 10 points, in what season do people celebrate (10[1])All Hallows’ Eve and Halloween? (10[1])■END■ (10[2])

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.)
