I think it'd be helpful to explain that essentially, we're talking August, but there's some local exceptions. We could specify Aug 13-16 even

I'll align all the other entries with "O-bon".  I wonder about keeping it on this one for reverse lookups.

I don't think "O-Bon" is needed. It's usually written without a hyphen.
"Lantern Festival" usually refers to the Chinese festival. "Festival of the Dead" isn't common.
I don't think the x-ref is needed on sense 1.
