Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, originated on November 5, 1605, following the failed Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London. The event commemorates the survival of King James I and the thwarting of the plot, leading to celebrations that included lighting bonfires. Over the centuries, it has evolved into a night of fireworks and festivities in the UK.
