Summer is approaching and with it, the busiest time when it comes to celebrations. Families get together, plan their vacations, enjoy their loved ones and the free time that this stage of the year brings, the most anticipated time of the year for most people, and many institutions in the country are joining in to offer recreational spaces to the population.
Under the slogan Summer Mode, the Ministry of Culture announced the vast plan of activities of all kinds that will be carried out during the months of July and August, and that will reach the 168 municipalities of the country. Despite the difficult economic situation that the country is going through, the programming will not be meager, and will reach the most remote towns of the Island, bringing love, culture and entertainment to its inhabitants.
More than 125,000 activities of all artistic manifestations are planned to take over the squares, theaters and streets of Cuba. Among these activities, there will be more than 80 events convened at institutional, municipal, provincial and national levels, aimed, for the most part, at rural, vulnerable or mountainous communities, with the purpose of satisfying emotional needs through art, even in areas where reaching can be very difficult.
Tours, concerts by professional groups, theatrical presentations, exhibitions, fairs, contests and workshops, are just some of the proposals that will be available to the public, completely free of charge in most cases.
Among the planned tours are those of the National Circus of Cuba, the Children’s Company La Colmenita, Cándido Fabré, Haila María Mompié, Arnaldo y su Talismán, Will Campa and Alexander Abreu. The grand start of the summer season will take place jointly in all the municipalities of the country, tomorrow, June 29, with presentations of ruedas de casino and dancers of the genre in the main squares and parks of each place.
