    Bonfire Night, also known in the UK as Guy Fawkes Night (or Guy Fawkes Day), ignites every November 5 to mark the failed 17th-century attempt to blow up Parliament and assassinate King James I. You can mark the occasion by lighting your own bonfire, going to a fireworks show, or learning more about the Gunpowder Plot.

    One must NOT set a bonfire NOR light any fireworks indoors!

    Oh gosh, the poor dogs. They howl a lot when there are fireworks here...

    Cats seem mostly unperturbed... as usual.

    It really is an interesting event because I don't even think any other country has anything like it. This event celebrates the public burning a man who tried to assassinate the King of England by exploding parliament. A very random thing. Only Halloween witches can come close to this but there may be other events like it.
