Guy Fawkes Day, also known as Bonfire Night, Cracker Night and Fireworks Night, is a British annual celebration on the evening of the 5th November. It celebrates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, in which a group of Catholic conspirators, led by Robert Catesby, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament on the evening of 5th November 1605.
It involves fireworks displays and the building of bonfires, on which ”guys“, or dummies, representing Guy Fawkes, the most infamous of the conspirators, are traditionally burnt.
Remember, remember
on the 5th of November,
the Gunpowder plot.
We see no reason
why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.

Very cool, in the evening they have a party. Amazing I want to do that in Portugal. That way I go to bed very late 😛
I had never heard of this British celebration. I think it is interesting to us, students, to know more of British or English culture. Now I know that Guy Fawes Day is an British celebration. It happens on the 5th November.
I think most of us didn’t know what Guy Fawkes Day is, but I thing that now, al of us will know something about this celebration, even if it’s a little bit…

This conclusion is very interesting, one day I would like to participate.

Guy Fawkes, a man of convictions …
it’s a nice festivity! the pictures and the poem are very funny. the club of languages has a great and interesting site. good job!!!
When I heard of Bonfire Night I did’t associate it with anything. However now that I saw what it was, I realized that I already knew something about this celebration. I think it’s a little creepy, and to repeat it once a year, even symbolically, the burning of one or more human beings! However I think it demonstrates a sense of fatherland from the country. It was good, to remember it anf get a bit of general culture.
I liked the text; it’s interesting and I think it was well written.
Never heard of Bonfire Night! Thankfully, I learned one more of the festivities of England! I think this picture is very funny! The first man has an air of sympathy! The firework displays are very wonderful! I think this festivity is very funny!
It must be a nice party specially the Bonfire.
I liked to learn about this because I had never heard of Guy Fawkes day or Bonfire Night; it’s very interesting because the way the people celebrate the festivity; it’s a lot of fun (the bonfire, fireworks displays and other things).
I think this festivity is very interesting and that people should know about it.
Well I guess that if he wanted to destroy the Parliament he should be remembered as a bad person and this is a good way to remember it as such.
I think it’s a very interesting story. I had never heard of this celebration but I think it is a very fun and lively celebration.
I liked the work because I did not know that in England people celebrate the “Fireworks Night” on November, 5th. They celebrate the failure of a group of Catholics that attempted to burn the houses of parliament. Very interesting!
I find it very interesting. It should be good to watch.
Don’t worry… Done it! Thank you for your comment.
In English… please!
I think this festivity must be very interesting. I would like one day to participate in it, especially see the bonfire.
I really like it; it is very interesting…. 🙂
I had never heard about this party. I like to burn things so I would like to be at that party.
I think it’s a different tradition which I had never heard of but at the same time I consider it a unique celebration and a very old one too and even today it maintains their roots.
Uau… It´s so interesting and must be so fun. One day (maybe) I´ll be there because I love festivities and fireworks.
=P
After observing the photographs, one that aroused most interest was the huge bonfire. Images are beautiful and fun.
The pictures are very beautiful and the festivity is very interesting. The English have great fun.
