Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night is an annual celebration

on the evening of 5 November. It marks the downfall of the

Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of

Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to

blow up the Houses of Parliament, in London, United Kingdom. It is celebrated because the king has survived, so it's not in honor of Guy fawkes, but in honor of the former king
