Penny for the Guy?

I suppose it is on or about Guy Fawkes Day in the UK, and it got me thinking about unusual holidays/festivals etc. What kind of celebrations does your country have that we might not have heard of in the US?

Bonus points if you burn an effigy of some kind.

Go.

I was just saying to my fiancé there is a mooncake festival day kind of thing.

what's a mooncake?

It's got 1000 calories.

Guy Fawkes Day/Bonfire Night. It's basically V For Vendetta only shit.

We have Australia Day - which is pretty much just our equivalent of Independence Day, a celebration of when our country was born and became it's own...well, country

(and yet we still have the Union Jack on our flag

)

That's all I can think of. I don't really pay attention to any holiday that isn't Easter, Halloween or Christmas

We give ours a sack of potatoes or a sack of coal for their coal burning stove.

That's cool. Are there any festivals to mark the Troubles? Like burning little doll-size Protestant homes?
