En pocas palabras
Cuba declares July 25-27 a national work break for Rebellion Day. Essential services will continue, with extra pay for workers involved.
Más detalles
Cuba will observe a national work break from July 25th to July 27th. This break is to commemorate the National Rebellion Day.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS) announced this measure, affecting most workers across the country.
📄 Where and When
The holiday break spans Friday, July 25th, Saturday, July 26th, and Sunday, July 27th, 2026.
This period marks the anniversary of the 1953 assaults on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes barracks.
📄 Why It's Important
National Rebellion Day is a significant commemoration in Cuba, celebrating a key moment in the country's revolutionary history.
It's a day of national significance, often marked by official ceremonies and public reflection.
📄 What the Government Says
The MTSS stated that essential services will not be interrupted during the break.
These essential services include healthcare, pharmacies, transportation, communications, continuous production, fuel supply, funeral services, tourism, and media like radio and television.
Workers required to work during these days will receive double their normal wages, as per the Labor Code.
Those already on paid vacation, unpaid leave, or receiving social security benefits will maintain their current status.
📄 What Comes Next
The main official ceremony for National Rebellion Day will be held in the province of Pinar del Río this year.
While July 26th falls on a Sunday in 2026, the following Monday, July 27th, is already a public holiday, so no further transfer of the day off is necessary.
