Day before the Commemoration of the Assault of the Moncada garrison

The **Day before the Commemoration of the Assault of the Moncada Garrison** in Cuba is a significant prelude to one of the most important national holidays in the country. On July 25th, Cubans prepare to honor the events of July 26, 1953, when a group of revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro launched an attack on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba. This bold assault, though unsuccessful, marked the beginning of the Cuban Revolution, which ultimately led to the overthrow of the Batista regime in 1959. The day before the commemoration is often marked by cultural events, speeches, and reflections on the revolutionary struggle. It serves as a time for Cubans to remember the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for social justice and national sovereignty. The atmosphere is filled with patriotic pride, as communities come together to celebrate their history and the ideals of the revolution. The following day, July 26th, is celebrated as a national holiday with parades, ceremonies, and festivities across the island.
