Actually, Passover was established as a 7 day festival. In fact, Passover is still celebrated as a 7 day festival in the land of Israel. However, in the Diaspora, the festival is 8 days. The reason for this is that when the new moon was originally sanctified in Jerusalem, the messengers couldn't get to the Jews living in the diaspora in time in order to let them know when the festival was to begin. As such, Jews in the diaspora kept an extra day because of the doubt. Now, even though there is a fixed calendar, this tradition continues and the festival is 7 days in Israel and 8 days in the diaspora. The first day of Passover (first two in the diaspora) is considered a holy day (Yom Tov). On the first day the Jews left Egypt. The seventh day (and the 8th day in the diaspora) is also considered a holy day. On the seventh day the miracle of splitting the sea occurred. The days in between are the intermediate days of the festival.
