The main event will take place in the park that bears his name, where a bust permanently honors the memory of one of the greatest men in America.
A replica of Gomez’s birthplace, made of wood with a dirt floor and a palm-thatched roof, stands in the park.
The man from Bani showed his skill as a military strategist in Cuba during the Ten Years’ War (1868-1878) and the so-called Necessary War of 1895.
Gomez considered Cuba his adopted homeland and was an example of humility and courage, while symbolizing the deep bonds of friendship between the two peoples.
