******************************************************************************************
     The "Fireworks Display to Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region" is scheduled to be held at 8pm this Saturday (July 1) over Victoria Harbour.

      A total of 39 888 firing shells will be discharged in the display from five barges in a 23-minute extravaganza consisting of eight scenes.

      The event, co-ordinated by the Home Affairs Bureau, is sponsored by the Reception for Fireworks Display to Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Organising Committee. The organising committee comprises four sponsors, namely the Federation of Hong Kong Guangdong Community Organisations, the Hong Kong China Chamber of Commerce, CT Environmental Group Limited and Mainland Headwear Holdings Limited.

     The fireworks display will be enriched with multimedia effects including light beams along the coastline at Golden Bauhinia Square and an LED display on the exterior glass curtain wall of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

     The 20th anniversary celebration theme song "Hong Kong Our Home" will open the first scene of the fireworks display. The second scene will feature red heart-shaped fireworks with smiley faces while colourful butterflies, lollipops and balloons will be depicted in the fifth scene. The fireworks display will reach its climax in the last scene with fast and rhythmic firing of shells in gorgeous colours for 23 seconds.

     The display can be seen from many vantage points on both sides of the harbour, including Tsim Sha Tsui, the Mid-levels, Central, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay.

      To maximise enjoyment of the display, spectators are invited to tune in to Radio Television Hong Kong Radio 4 (FM 97.6 to 98.9) for synchronised music.

      People are also urged to help keep public areas clean and to show respect for public property. They are also urged to show consideration in order to make the event a safe one.
