On July 26th, 1953 a group of Cuban revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro attacked the Moncada Army Barracks again the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Although this attack was defeated militarily, taking the lives of dozens of rebel fighters and imprisoning many others, including Fidel Castro, it is seen as the beginning of the Cuban revolution. It is the July 26th Movement, named after this initial defeat, that led the Cuban revolution to victory under the leadership of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and their compañeros.

Please join us in the beautiful Trout Lake Park to commemorate the July 26th movement with an evening of dynamic speakers, poets, musicians and good food!

>> Rain or Shine! <<

>> The event is free, BBQ by donation & if possible bring some food to share for the potluck! <<

El 26 de Julio de 1953, un grupo de revolucionarios cubanos, encabezados por Fidel Castro, atacaron el Cuartel Moncada contra el dictador cubano Fulgencio Batista. Aunque este ataque fue una derrota
militar, cobrando la vida de docenas de luchadores rebeldes y la prisión a muchos otros, incluyendo a Fidel Castro, es visto como el comienzo de la Revolución Cubana. Es el Movimiento 26 de Julio, que
lleva el nombre de esta derrota inicial, lo que llevó a la victoria de la Revolución Cubana, bajo el liderazgo de Fidel Castro, Che Guevara y sus compañeros.

¡Por favor, únase a nosotros en el bello Trout Lake Park para conmemorar el Movimiento 26 de Julio con una noche marcada por dinámicos oradores, poetas, músicos y buena comida!

>> ¡Llueva o haya sol! <<

>> El evento es gratis, la Barbacoa por donación y si es possible, traigan comida para compartir en el potluck! <<

>> Todo el diniero y las donaciones serán donados a la "Initiativa Rumbo a Cuba", una campaña para enviar un camión nevera y un tractor al Campo de Trabajo Voluntario “Julio Antonio Mella” (CIJAM) en Caimito, Cuba <<
