<holidayfyi-glossary slug="bonfire-tradition"></holidayfyi-glossary>The practice of lighting large outdoor fires as a central feature of seasonal or religious celebrations, with roots in pre-Christian Celtic, Germanic, and Slavic customs of marking solstices and purification rites. Famous bonfire traditions include Guy Fawkes Night bonfires in England, Midsommar bonfires in Scandinavia, and Lohri bonfires in Punjab, with fire's symbolic associations of purification, warmth, and the triumph of light over darkness making it a near-universal festive element across cultures.
