Tribute to Fidel from Camagüey, the province aspiring to embody socialist ideals
In the vibrant city of Camagüey, Cuba, the spirit of Fidel Castro lives on as the nation prepares to commemorate his 99th birthday on August 13, 2025. The celebration is a blend of educational programs, cultural activities, and community engagement, reflecting Fidel's enduring influence and his contributions to Cuban society.
The educational programs focus on Fidel's impact, particularly in the realm of computer development and technological progress. These initiatives aim to inspire the new generations and foster a deeper understanding of his vision for Cuba's future.
Musical and poetic tributes, led by groups such as the instructors from the José Martí Brigade, will celebrate Fidel's revolutionary thought through songs and poetry. These performances will take place in various locations, including the Casino Campestre, the largest urban park in Cuba, and the historic Salón Jimaguayú.
Community involvement is a key aspect of the celebration in Camagüey. Residents are encouraged to share stories about Fidel’s legacy and the role of women in the Cuban Revolution, creating a festive, family-friendly atmosphere.
Historic contextualization is another significant element of the commemoration. Camagüey, with its rich history, played a crucial role in Fidel's life, as he predicted major geopolitical shifts here in 1989. The Historic Route on August 13 will include a tour of the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology and the Provincial Center for Electromedicine and Mechanical Plant, both locations bearing Fidel's footprint.
While the main large-scale celebration takes place in Birán, Fidel's birthplace in Holguín province, the focus in Camagüey is more on thematic tributes and educational activities honouring his life and legacy. The Provincial Meeting of Concert Bands, taking place in the Casino Campestre park, will feature performances by four municipal bands and the provincial one, culminating in an interpretation of a work loaded with Cuban essence.
Young Camagüeyans will also participate in a historic route to remember Fidel Castro's more than 50 visits to the province. Early on August 13, they will walk the main arteries of the city, symbolising that the Revolution is still a work of the young.
The Federation of Cuban Women will also contribute to the celebration by giving a basket to the firstborn in the Maternal Hospital Ana Betancourt de Mora.
In conclusion, the commemoration of Fidel Castro's 99th birthday in Camagüey is a testament to his enduring influence and the continued relevance of his revolutionary ideas. The events aim to inspire and educate the new generations, fostering a sense of unity and pride in Cuba's rich history and bright future.
