Guy Fawkes is commemorated on November 5 each year, known as Guy Fawkes Night, Bonfire Night, or Fireworks Night. The date marks the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 to blow up the English Parliament and King James I, after which November 5 was declared a national day of thanksgiving in 1606. Today, celebrations typically include bonfires, fireworks, and the burning of effigies of Guy Fawkes, with the tradition spreading to many countries beyond the UK.
