title = "The Tarves People{\textquoteright}s Party: Fire, Planning, and Community",
abstract = "The Tarves bonfire in North-East Scotland is a seasonal event tied to the mid-autumn calendar customs of Samhainn, Halloween, and Guy Fawkes Night. Established as an outgrowth of these traditions in 1999, it has grown into the biggest such regional event outside large conurbations. As a {\textquoteleft}new{\textquoteright} traditional event, it is subject to a wide range of regulatory pressures, from the precedents of ancient practice to the concerns of modern civic authorities such as the local council and the police. Drawing on interviews and first-hand experience, this paper looks at a range of internal and external regulatory forces germane to the annual community event.",
