About: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day
Establishment Day, formally the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day, is celebrated annually on 1 July in Hong Kong, China since 1997. The holiday celebrates the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The similarly-named holiday in Macau occurs on 20 December, the day of its handover from Portugal. The day is customarily marked by an officially organised extravagant fireworks display in the evening, and is also the platform for political rallies demanding universal suffrage. In 2007, to commemorate the 10th Anniversary celebration the Hong Kong Government published a song, "Just Because You Are Here". It was sung by many Hong Kong singers and composed by Peter Kam, with lyrics by Keith Chan. In 2022, the 25th Anniversary was commemorated with the swearing in of new Chief Executive John Lee together with his cabinet.
