Fun End-of-Year Fireworks Traditions:
Guy Fawkes Day
This British/Irish holiday is celebrated on November 5th and commemorates the failed attempt to blow up the House of Lords in 1605. Immigrants from England brought the tradition of fireworks and bonfires to Western Canada, where Halloween falls close to Guy Fawkes Day.
Chinese festivals
Chinese Canadian merchants celebrated the Lunar New Year with firecrackers and parades, which they also brought to the wider community. Some say that the tradition in British Columbia is a result of a "British-Chinese cultural mash-up".
In ancient China, it was said that evil spirits would look for victims during the coming of a new year. According to legend, these evil spirits could be scared away with noisy fireworks. Over time, we all kept the noise and the fireworks but became less afraid of ghosts.
Many historians believe that fireworks were originally developed in the second century B.C. in ancient Liuyang, China. It is believed that the first natural "firecrackers" were bamboo stalks that when thrown in a fire, would explode with a bang because of the overheating of the hollow air pockets in the bamboo. The Chinese believed these natural "firecrackers" would ward off evil spirits.
