Which Canadian province is Bonfire Night largely confined to in the 21st century?

Bonfire Night is largely confined to Newfoundland and Labrador in 21st-century Canada.

Bonfire Night, held on 5 November, recalls the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and fellow conspirators attempted to destroy the English House of Lords. British settlers carried the tradition to parts of the wider British world, including Canada, but it did not remain equally widespread across the country.

Newfoundland and Labrador retained especially visible local customs, including bonfires, fireworks and community gatherings. The province’s historical links with Britain and its long-standing British cultural influences helped preserve the observance after it faded elsewhere in Canada.

A common mix-up is treating Bonfire Night as a nationwide Canadian holiday, or confusing it with Halloween. Although some commemorations may occur in other places, the standard reference description identifies Newfoundland and Labrador as the province where the tradition is largely concentrated in the 21st century.
