Bonfire Night

Bonfire Night is also called Guy Fawkes Night. Guy Fawkes is the name of a man we remember on Bonfire Night. Bonfire Night is celebrated on 5th November and it's a traditional British festival. On Bonfire Night, there're many firework displays in parks and open spaces across the country. You can just go and enjoy it with other people. Actually, many people also put on firework displays in their own garden.
Reason: Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. However, his gunpowder plot was discovered and he was executed by the King. So that's why people still burn a fake guy resembling Guy Fawkes in their big bonfires.
