Guy Fawkes Night / Bonfire Night

Guys Fawkes Night is celebrated in the United Kingdom, the holiday involves activities such as parades, fireworks, bonfires, and food. Children sometimes carry straw effigies of Fawkes, which are later tossed into bonfires but I don't see it often done anymore. It is commemorating the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
