The people are waiting with great expectation for the 2017 Guantanamo Carnival, scheduled from August 10-13 in the middle of the summer season, dedicated this year to youth, a fundamental clay of Cuban society's work, as defined by Che.
Yuni Silvente Calderín, president of the organizing committee, told CMKS that moment of popular party is also to honor the 91st anniversary of the immortal Commander in Chief of the Revolution Fidel Castro Ruz and the 64th anniversary of the assault on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel of Céspedes barracks.
During the first meeting in view of the massive celebrations, the official said that the date coincides as usual with the holiday period and establishes a national scheme in the structure of events of that type for provincial capitals.
The president of the Guantanamo Carnival Commission 2017 explained that the Fiesta de San Joaquín every August 16 is outside the program and its celebration is planned for that day itself in order to preserve the traditions of the territory.
The Carnival of Guantanamo, along with those of Santiago de Cuba, are well-known and welcome among the inhabitants of the five eastern provinces and the rest of the country for its rhythm, color and characteristics of the folkloric groups.
