## What is Bonfire Night?
On November 5th people celebrate Bonfire Night, also called "Guy Fawkes Night" in England. A long time ago, in 1605, a man named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Parliament building, but his plan failed. After that, people started lighting big fires and putting on fireworks to keep the country safe. Today, families and friends watch big fireworks shows in parks, light small fires at home, and enjoy tasty treats like candy apples.
