Guy Fawkes Day- Bonfire Night is celebrated annually on Nov. 5 in the UK. The event has been held since 1605 when Catholic Guy Fawkes and a group of conspirators planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament and assassinate Protestant King James I in the Gunpowder Plot. The attempt failed and the people were permitted to celebrate the King's survival by holding bonfire celebrations.
