I don't know but the jerks that live behind us are still 'finishing off' their fourth of July fireworks. When does the madness end!? I mean, a couple days before the holiday, its 2am and i need to sleep, but thats okay, their just excited. On the day, random hours of the night. Now, July 11th, and their still going at it. I can't stand the popping and the screeches. J-christ it needs to end! haha better than bon fires.

Don't know... We always have a Bonfire in October when the air is cool and the goblins are hiding... Bonfire on the 11th of July...must be a gathering of friends! Smores any one?
Update: You asked (why?)
These celebrations keep alive the memory of two major battles (Boyne and Aughrim) which shaped the future of Northern Ireland.

Bonfire night in Northern Ireland.
I just added a link to the twelfth. The Bonfire night is celebrated in anticipation of the twelfth.
