Today, 20 Oct, is えびす講 in Kansai and Kyoto's 誓文払い. In much of eastern Japan the same observance falls a month later, on 20 Nov. Not two festivals. One, counted two ways.

One thing I got too clean: the split isn't east vs west. Tokyo's own べったら市 (Nihonbashi 寳田恵比寿神社 + 椙山神社; Shibuya 恵比寿神社) runs 10/19-20, same as Kansai. The month-late version is shrine by shrine: Ashikaga & Kiryu 11/19-20, Nagano 11/18-20, Kofu 11/23. The 20 holds; the month is local.
