During this celebration, people make a "Guy", which is an effigy of Guy Fawkes, and burn it on the bonfire. Fireworks are also set off, lighting up the night sky, and people gather around the bonfire to eat traditional foods such as toffee apples, baked potatoes, and soup. The event is often attended by families and friends who enjoy the festive atmosphere and spend time together. However, in recent years, there has been concern over the potential danger of fireworks and the impact they have on pets and wildlife, leading some to call for the celebration to be scaled back or replaced with more environmentally-friendly alternatives.
