The event will begin at 7:00 p.m. (local Cuban time) at the Moncada facility -former stronghold of the Batista dictatorship- in eastern Santiago de Cuba province.

After the 1959 Cuban revolution, the military fortress was turned into the 'July 26th' school complex.

On hand will be some 100 000 Santiago de Cuba residents, representing the entire Cuban people, as well as a group of revolutionaries who participated in the attack on July 26th, 1953, members of the Granma yacht expeditionary force, and leaders of the Cuban Communist Party (PCC), the Young Communist League (UJC), students and grassroots organizations.

The patriotic event will be broadcast live on Cuban radio and television and on the international frequencies of Radio Havana Cuba.
