Bonfire night - November 5th specifically, celebrates the foiling of the plot to blow up the (English) Houses of Parliament back in 1605. Guy Fawkes was later hanged, drawn & quartered for his role in the attempt although the celebration today involves 'burning the Guy' on the bonfire. There is no American connection to this holiday and makes as much sense as asking if Aussies celebrate the 4th of July.

I doubt it. Why would they? Do you know what Bonfire Night signifies? If you did, you would know that it about a period in English history and thus has nowt to do with American history!
There may be some ex-pats who mark it some how.

I don't think so, why would they? It would be like us celebrating Thanksgiving. On the other hand, any guys are always wellcome at a good burn-up.

No, I think its a British thing, because of the story behind it (Gunpowder plot)
