The event celebrated on November 5th in the UK is Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night. This annual event commemorates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, where a group of conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament to assassinate King James I and restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. Following the failed plot, November 5th was declared a day of thanksgiving. Celebrations include fireworks, bonfires, and the tradition of burning effigies of Guy Fawkes. Over the years, it has evolved into a festive community gathering, marking a significant moment in British history.
