The Obon Festival is a traditional Japanese Buddhist event that is not directly associated with Halloween. The Obon Festival, also known as Bon Festival, is a time to honor and remember ancestors' spirits. It typically takes place in the summer, usually in July or August, depending on the region in Japan. While the Obon Festival has some cultural and spiritual similarities to Halloween, it is not specifically celebrated as a Halloween day in any country. Halloween is more commonly associated with Western cultures, particularly in countries like the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
