‘Remember; remember the fifth of November, the gunpowder, treason and plot’
Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night is the annual celebration on the evening on November 5th that celebrates the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, when a number of conspirators most notably Guy Fawkes were alleged to be attempting to blow up... the Houses of Parliament in London on the opening day of parliament with the King in residence.
The British Community in Florida are coming together this year for the annual celebration of Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night November 5th. Two well known British-American Organisations ~ The British-American Business Council of Tampa Bay and the British-America Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida have organised their own events to celebrate in a truly traditional British fashion.
The British-American Business Council of Tampa Bay have organised their festivities at Mad Dog's & Englishmen Pub Tampa from 6pm till 9pm. They will be serving traditional food and closing the evening with fireworks and bonfire. www.babctampabay.org
The British-America Chamber of Commerce also have organised an event at Osceola Heritage Park, their Guy Fawkes Night kicks off at 6:30pm and promises bonfires, fireworks, traditional food and fun. www.britishamericanchamberorlando.com
Both these events will give you the opportunity to meet and mingle with other Brits abroad.
Celebrating Guy Fawkes Night on the evening of the 5th of November is a British staple, wrapping up warm in scarves and gloves heading out to the local park to watch fireworks and eat treacle toffee with family and friends is a tradition that should not be missed. Many thanks to the British Groups in Florida who keep us in touch with our roots!
Lets all come together this November 5th and make it UKinUSA!
Don’t forget to bring a penny for the guy!Read More
