About Bonfire Night in brief

Some of the most popular instances include Guy Fawkes Night in Great Britain, which is also celebrated in some Commonwealth countries; Northern Ireland’s Eleventh Night, and 5 November in Newfoundland and Labrador. In various parts of Ireland, Bonfire Nights are held on St John’s Eve, Bealtaine eve and Halloween.
In Scandinavia it is known as Walpurgis Night and in Denmark also sankthansaften. Bonfire celebrations can pose a risk to public safety due to the possibility of fires, injuries, or fights. The use of fireworks may lead to dangerous pyrotechnic incidents. In parts of the Caribbean, laws banning fireworks have muted the occasion, and safety concerns in New Zealand have resulted in restrictions on fireworks use.
