Day after PRC National Day in Macau

Date: October 2nd

The day after the People's Republic of China (PRC) National Day is a public holiday in Macau, which falls on October 2nd each year. This follows the PRC National Day, celebrated on October 1st to commemorate the formal establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

History and Traditions:

Macau, a former Portuguese colony, was handed back to China on December 20th, 1999. Since then, it has been a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. As part of China, Macau celebrates national holidays such as the PRC National Day and its immediate aftermath. These celebrations are a reflection of Macau's integration into China and its political system.

The traditions during this time typically mirror those on the mainland. The day is marked by:

  • Fireworks: A grand display may light up the night sky, although it usually takes place on October 1st.
  • Flags and Decorations: Buildings are adorned with flags and festive decorations to mark the occasion.
  • Cultural Performances: Traditional Chinese performances and festivities can be part of the celebration.

Activities:

On the day following National Day:

  • Public Observance: Government officials often participate in ceremonies to honor the nation.
  • Leisure Time: Residents may take advantage of the two-day holiday for relaxation or travel.
  • Family Gatherings: Many people may use this time to gather with family and enjoy meals together.

As with many public holidays worldwide, some businesses may be closed or have reduced hours during this period. The two-day span offers residents a brief respite from work to engage in personal activities or join in national celebrations.
