On 11 July, bonfires will be lit across Northern Ireland to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
On 11 July, bonfires will be lit across Northern Ireland, but why are they lit? And where can you see them?
Smaller children's bonfires and events, which often include bouncy castles, local bands, games and music, run earlier in the day near most bonfires.Local authorities, the Department for Infrastructure, the Police Service of Northern Ireland , the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service all have different powers they can use to regulate bonfires.
But in recent years, communities have joined together to consolidate their resources to form much larger bonfires, often due to a lack of space.
