Guy Fawkes Night, Lewes, England
November 5
In 1605 Guy Fawkes devised a plan to blow up Parliament and kill the king and the entire Protestant aristocracy. However, his "Gunpowder Plot" was discovered and he was sentenced to death. Bizarrely, the English have celebrated the event ever since with fireworks and bonfires. The biggest "Bonfire Night" celebration is in Lewes and never have we seen so much open flame, alcohol and large crowds combined in one place.
