In Northern Ireland, the Eleventh Night or 11th Night refers to the night before the Twelfth of July, a yearly Ulster Protestant celebration. On this night, large towering bonfires are lit in many Protestant/loyalist neighbourhoods in Northern Ireland and are often accompanied by street parties. The bonfires are mostly made up of wooden pallets and tires, with some reaching over 100 ft tall. The event has been condemned for displays of sectarian or ethnic hatred, anti-social behaviour, and for the damage and pollution caused by the fires. The flag of Ireland, Irish nationalist (including republican) symbols, Catholic symbols, and effigies, are burnt on many bonfires. There have been attempts to make the event more family-friendly and environmentally-friendly. It is also known as "bonfire night", in common with other events in which bonfires are lit.
Hundreds of bonfires are lit each year on the night of July 11th in Northern Ireland to celebrate the victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 of the Protestant King William III over the Catholic King James II. This marks the beginning of the celebrations of the Twelfth.
The largest reach more than 60 meters and need cranes to be built. The materials used for its construction are mostly pallets and household waste.

The bonfires precede the Twelfth of July parades, the main date in the Protestant loyal order parading season.

The Eleventh (11th) Night Bonfire in Northern Ireland - 11th Night Bonfire is a yearly celebration that is held in Northern Ireland to refer to the night before the twelfth of July which is held in different places across the country - we managed to witness the ones held in Ballysally and Harpur's Hill, Coleraine in Northern Ireland.

The Eleventh (11th) Night Bonfire in Northern Ireland - 11th Night Bonfire is a yearly celebration that is held in Northern Ireland to refer to the night before the twelfth of July which is held in different places across the country - we managed to witness the ones held in Ballysally and Harpur's Hill, Coleraine in Northern Ireland.
The Eleventh bonfire night refers to the celebrations done on the night before the 12th of July in Northern Ireland and which is a yearly Ulster protestant celebration. On this night, there are different bonfires lit in many protestant/loyalists neighborhoods in Northern Ireland and which are usually accompanied by street parties.
Along the years, this event has been condemned because of the pollution that is caused by the bonfires and because it usually displays sectarian and ethnic hatred and anti-social behavior. These bonfires are usually made up of wooden pallets and tyres and some of them sometimes reach high levels that might sometimes reach 100 ft tall.
Due to being not environmentally friendly, a lot of people have tried to make it more family-friendly, but until this point there have been no changes done at all regarding the issue. Some attempts managed to work out eventually that there are some committees to be held before going through this event.
Every single year, there are different places across Northern Ireland where these bonfires are found and being lit. From those several places, we were able to attend the ones done in Coleraine in county Derry, from which this video was taken.
Even though this is considered one of the famous yearly events or celebrations that take place in Northern Ireland, last year and this year were considered different due to the number of emergency calls received while the event was taking place - there were more than 200 emergency calls received during this night. According to the Fire Service, most of these different incidents taking place across the country were handled and dealt with and the two most insignificant ones were in the greater area of Belfast city.
It was thrilling to stand in front of this huge fire and attend such an event - one just feels that the city is going on fire and people are watching without being able to offer any kind of help. This is not one of the big events in Northern Ireland that people from around the world should attend, but it is definitely one which we should bring out to the world.
One of the reasons we stand with those who condemn such an event is the losses it might cause, such as the one caused to two houses standing close to one of the Hopewell Square Bonfire in Belfast's Shankill Road - which one of them was destroyed.
A lot of people from around the world know nothing about the eleventh night bonfire event that is held every single year in Northern Ireland - the one event that busies the fire fighters, causes some damages to the environment, and might even cause some loses to the houses carrying human beings inside them. It is important to bring such an important event to the public and let them experience one of the huge bonfires which are found in Northern Ireland.
There are different preparations done for this day in which the bonfires are prepared - some of them tend to be huge, while there are others which end up not being as big as those huge ones that could reach up to 100 ft long.
When it comes to Northern Ireland, there are actually different events which one could attend and which are not the same as the 11th night bonfire one. One of those events which we have been to and enjoyed but had to go back home because of the kids was the culture night event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which we would be willing to head to every single year without ever getting board (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSkVFfeXgxk).
In addition to the culture night event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, there are also other events such as the NI speed weekend which is all about the cars and watching those drivers making shows for you and even trying some of those cars on display (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQ0IOce61s). There is also the famous Halloween celebration in county Derry which is known as one of the best Halloween parties or events one could attend around the world and which takes a bit of the Irish taste in it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkwL0vveWGk). And finally, we could also suggest one event which we enjoyed as a whole family - kids and adults - the Maritime festival which shows different ships and at the same time held different activities and games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKRbnKu6cVA).
Have you ever seen any of the bonfires related to the celebrations done for the 11th of July in Northern Ireland in real? Most of those who have witnessed this experience are Irish people, while those who might have seen it either on Television or the internet are the foreigners.
Tell us about your past experiences with the 11th of July celebrations if you have any of them!

The Eleventh (11th) Night Bonfire in Northern Ireland - 11th Night Bonfire is a yearly celebration that is held in Northern Ireland to refer to the night before the twelfth of July which is held in different places across the country - we managed to witness the ones held in Ballysally and Harpur's Hill, Coleraine in Northern Ireland.
The Eleventh bonfire night refers to the celebrations done on the night before the 12th of July in Northern Ireland and which is a yearly Ulster protestant celebration. On this night, there are different bonfires lit in many protestant/loyalists neighborhoods in Northern Ireland and which are usually accompanied by street parties.
Along the years, this event has been condemned because of the pollution that is caused by the bonfires and because it usually displays sectarian and ethnic hatred and anti-social behavior. These bonfires are usually made up of wooden pallets and tyres and some of them sometimes reach high levels that might sometimes reach 100 ft tall.
Due to being not environmentally friendly, a lot of people have tried to make it more family-friendly, but until this point there have been no changes done at all regarding the issue. Some attempts managed to work out eventually that there are some committees to be held before going through this event.
Every single year, there are different places across Northern Ireland where these bonfires are found and being lit. From those several places, we were able to attend the ones done in Coleraine in county Derry, from which this video was taken.
Even though this is considered one of the famous yearly events or celebrations that take place in Northern Ireland, last year and this year were considered different due to the number of emergency calls received while the event was taking place - there were more than 200 emergency calls received during this night. According to the Fire Service, most of these different incidents taking place across the country were handled and dealt with and the two most insignificant ones were in the greater area of Belfast city.
It was thrilling to stand in front of this huge fire and attend such an event - one just feels that the city is going on fire and people are watching without being able to offer any kind of help. This is not one of the big events in Northern Ireland that people from around the world should attend, but it is definitely one which we should bring out to the world.
One of the reasons we stand with those who condemn such an event is the losses it might cause, such as the one caused to two houses standing close to one of the Hopewell Square Bonfire in Belfast's Shankill Road - which one of them was destroyed.
A lot of people from around the world know nothing about the eleventh night bonfire event that is held every single year in Northern Ireland - the one event that busies the fire fighters, causes some damages to the environment, and might even cause some loses to the houses carrying human beings inside them. It is important to bring such an important event to the public and let them experience one of the huge bonfires which are found in Northern Ireland.
There are different preparations done for this day in which the bonfires are prepared - some of them tend to be huge, while there are others which end up not being as big as those huge ones that could reach up to 100 ft long.
When it comes to Northern Ireland, there are actually different events which one could attend and which are not the same as the 11th night bonfire one. One of those events which we have been to and enjoyed but had to go back home because of the kids was the culture night event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which we would be willing to head to every single year without ever getting board (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSkVFfeXgxk).
In addition to the culture night event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, there are also other events such as the NI speed weekend which is all about the cars and watching those drivers making shows for you and even trying some of those cars on display (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQ0IOce61s). There is also the famous Halloween celebration in county Derry which is known as one of the best Halloween parties or events one could attend around the world and which takes a bit of the Irish taste in it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkwL0vveWGk). And finally, we could also suggest one event which we enjoyed as a whole family - kids and adults - the Maritime festival which shows different ships and at the same time held different activities and games (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKRbnKu6cVA).
Have you ever seen any of the bonfires related to the celebrations done for the 11th of July in Northern Ireland in real? Most of those who have witnessed this experience are Irish people, while those who might have seen it either on Television or the internet are the foreigners.
Tell us about your past experiences with the 11th of July celebrations if you have any of them!
In Northern Ireland, the Eleventh Night or 11th Night refers to the night before the Twelfth of July, a yearly Ulster Protestant celebration. On this night, large towering bonfires are lit in many Protestant/loyalist neighbourhoods in Northern Ireland and are often accompanied by street parties. The bonfires are mostly made up of wooden pallets and tires, with some reaching over 100 ft tall. The event has been condemned for displays of sectarian or ethnic hatred, anti-social behaviour, and for the damage and pollution caused by the fires. The flag of Ireland, Irish nationalist (including republican) symbols, Catholic symbols, and effigies, are burnt on many bonfires. There have been attempts to make the event more family-friendly and environmentally-friendly. It is also known as "bonfire night", in common with other events in which bonfires are lit.
