During Guy Fawkes Night in the UK, people light bonfires and celebrate with fireworks to commemorate the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. It marks the attempt by Guy Fawkes and others to blow up the Houses of Parliament. The tradition includes burning effigies of Fawkes, and communities conduct firework displays and communal gatherings. This annual event is not only a celebration of a historical incident but also a social occasion, providing an opportunity for communities to come together to enjoy the festivities.
