bonfires
Beach party blazes
Bonfires is the plural of bonfire—a large outdoor fire built for celebration, warmth, or disposal.
Bonfires mark occasions like Guy Fawkes Night, beach parties, or autumn gatherings: We roasted marshmallows over the bonfire.
They also serve practical purposes, burning yard waste or brush.
The word evokes communal gathering around open flames.
