Guy Fawkes Night
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Mother Nature isn’t on our side this week! Due to the poor weather forecast, our Guy Fawkes Community Bonfire Night on Wednesday, November 5th has been cancelled. We’re disappointed to miss out on this annual tradition, but safety comes first. Thank you for understanding, and stay tuned for more great community events ahead!
Celebrate Guys Fawkes Night in partnership with our Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s Volunteer Fire Department at our huge community bonfire!
There will be free hot dogs are hot chocolate served at this event. Please check back for any weather-related cancellations on the day of the event.
Remember, when you’re having a recreational fire with family and friends – safety comes first! Follow all fire safety guidelines from our local Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s Volunteer Fire Department and always have a water source or extinguisher nearby in case of emergency.
Guy Fawkes Night is a night steeped in history and tradition, dating back to 1605. Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night always takes place on November 5th, the original night of the Gunpowder Plot. The Town invites the community to come out enjoy a great bonfire together. For more on the history of Guy Fawkes Night/Bonfire Night, click here.
