Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Hong Kong Foundation Day, also known as Hong Kong Day (香港日) and Festival of Hong Kong (香港節), is the anniversary of the founding of Hong Kong as a free port when Britain formally colonised it on 26 January 1841 after entering into a provisional treaty, known as the Chuenpi Convention, with an official of the Qing government. The British Colonial Government did not make it an official public holiday, nor does the SAR Government. Yet, some members of the public do organise various history talks or exhibitions on or near 26 January each year.
