Many of the 134 rebel comrades were caught attacking Batista\u2019s Moncada Barracks in the eastern city of Santiago and sentenced to time in prison, however, spirits were not dampened, and the start of a social movement set to change the world was born.<\/p>\n<p>In 1959, victory was finally theirs.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How Does Cuba Celebrate National Revolution Day<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Crowned National Revolution Day (Dia de la Revolucion), the 26<sup>th<\/sup> July officially became a public holiday, with the government further adding the 25<sup>th<\/sup> and 27<sup>th<\/sup> into the mix in 1976. The streets of Cuba buzz with atmosphere on all three days, where you\u2019ll notice the flag of the revolution (which is red and black with a large 26 in the middle) prominently displayed to mark this special occasion.<\/p>\n<p>You can expect a flurry of celebrations and events held in towns and cities across the country, with huge crowds gathering for lively rallies held in central plazas and to listen to the president\u2019s speech. Offices, schools, and businesses are also closed during this celebration period.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Who Was Jos<\/strong><strong>\u00e9 Mart<\/strong><strong>\u00ed?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Cuban poet, philosopher, journalist, and publisher Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed had many strings to his bow, but being a Cuban national hero is probably the most prominent, due to his instrumental role in the liberation of his country.<\/p>\n<p>His political activism raising awareness for Cuban Independence from Spain made him a key figure during the Cuban War of Independence, and his literature (including poems, political journalism, and particularly a newspaper he founded called \u2018Patria\u2019) became the official mouthpiece for the movement.<\/p>\n<p>It took a few attempts (and a couple of exiles, too) but in 1892, finally Mart\u00ed\u2019s Cuban Revolutionary Party launched. Two years later, the island nation plunged into war and Mart\u00ed was killed in battle \u2013 but to this day his legacy is celebrated on 26<sup>th<\/sup> July National Revolution Day and 28<sup>th<\/sup> January, his birthday.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1st-4.jpg\" alt=\"26th of July celebrations\" width=\"314\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1st-4.jpg 632w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1st-4-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2nd-5.jpg\" alt=\"26th of July celebrations\" width=\"288\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2nd-5.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2nd-5-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Love Cuba<\/strong> is the UK\u2019s leading <strong>Cuba holiday specialist<\/strong>.
