Also known as Bonfire Night.
Guy Fawkes was a leader of a group of Catholic men who were plotting to blow up the king and Parliament but were arrested in time. The English and Irish burn bonfires topped by a figure known as "the guy". West Indians from the Bahamas and Barbados celebrate it as well.
