Because guy Fawkes was the man who tried to blow up parliament by conspiring in the gunpowder plot to kill the members of what he and his accomplices thought was a corrupt parliament.
Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up British parliament with gunpowder in 1605. Why this is celebrated, I do not know... probably because he failed, but the fireworks are a recreation of the explosives he attempted to detonate to bring down the government of the time. He was attempting a Catholic revolution at the time. Effigies of Guy Fawkes are also burned on bonfires in addition to the firework displays.
