Cuba celebrates 26 July with communist flags, posters and graffiti. On this day in 1953, Fidel Castro and his supporters attacked the military barracks of Moncada, located in the city of Santiago de Cuba. After this event, the revolutionaries were named "The Movement on July 26", and therefore this date is very important in the history of Cuba.

Then the attack failed, and the dictator Batista was overthrown only in 1959. Nevertheless, Fidel Castro chose this date for the holiday, as it coincided with the centenary of the birth of the Cuban writer and patriot Jose Marti. Also on this day there is a series of local carnivals, and before that it was possible to see the performance of the comandante, albeit from a great distance. At the Moncada barracks, the names of the dead revolutionaries are read out and sliced ​​from cannon in their honor. Usually it is broadcast on all local television channels
