What is Guy Fawkes Night?🎆
This Sunday, I will be watching a firework festival in Nagano, so I'd like to talk about UK's firework festivals!
In UK we have two days British people light fireworks, one is on New Years Day and another is a day called Guy Fawkes Night.
On November 5th 1605, a man named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the House of Parliament with lots of gunpowder in an underneath cellar but failed.
The day is celebrated as his attempt was failed and King James I said that on this day people will celebrate him being safe with bonfires and fireworks.
Even now, many people in Britain will buy fireworks to light up in their gardens on November 5th with their families as its become a standard celebration for all British citizens. I had lots of pleasant memories when I was younger, gathering as a family and shooting fireworks together with my dad!
Do you enjoy fireworks in Japan? What is the best firework festival in your opinion?
