CREATE YOUR VIRTUAL FIREWORKS

On the very night that the Gunpowder Plot was foiled, on November 5th, 1605, bonfires were set alight to celebrate the safety of the King. Since then, November 5th has become known as Bonfire Night. The event is commemorated every year with fireworks and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.

You can also build your own colourful fireworks at Crayola Fireworks Spectacular to remember the fifth of November. Have fun!
