Hialeah Mayor Bryan Calvo has officially announced the Free Cuba Rally, a large-scale, free event scheduled for March 24 starting at 7:00 PM at Milander Park, located at 4700 Palm Avenue in Hialeah, Florida.
This event, formally organized by the City of Hialeah and listed on the municipal calendar, will bring together elected officials, activists, community and religious leaders, artists, and members of the Cuban exile community for a peaceful demonstration of solidarity with the people of Cuba. The park's gates will open at 6:00 PM, and the rally will continue until 10:00 PM.
Mayor Calvo is actively promoting the rally on social media with a straightforward message: "Hialeah, the time for a Free Cuba is now. Our message is clear: Freedom! Join us for the Free Cuba Rally on Tuesday, March 24 starting at 7 PM at Milander Park."
Special guest performances have been confirmed by Yotuel Romero and El Chacal, two of the most prominent figures in Cuban musical activism in exile.
Musical Activism and Unity
Yotuel is a co-author of 'Patria y Vida,' the anthem of the July 11, 2021 protests in Cuba, which won two Latin Grammys that same year. Both artists recently previewed 'Puente Libertad,' a song featuring Jacob Forever that envisions a symbolic bridge between Miami and Havana.
The official description of the rally captures its spirit with a simple phrase: "This event represents unity, strength, and the power to raise our voices."
A Young Leader with a Strong Stance
Bryan Calvo, at 28, is the youngest mayor in Hialeah's history. A Harvard-educated attorney, he was elected in November 2025 with 52.93% of the vote and sworn in January 2026 at the Milander Center for Arts and Entertainment.
Since taking office, Calvo has maintained a firm stance against the Cuban dictatorship and has established a business advisory group focused on a post-regime Cuba.
The Free Cuba Rally marks Calvo's first major public gathering since becoming mayor, arriving at a time when the Cuban-American community in South Florida continues to exert political pressure on the Havana regime. Hialeah is home to one of the largest concentrations of Cuban-Americans in the United States.
