Afterwards, they proceeded to the walk from El Carmen Park to Leoncio Vidal, presided by children, adolescents and young people, fans of the Juan Marinello Culture House.

Fleites Monteagudo added that upon arriving at Leoncio Vidal Park, tribute was paid to the benefactress Marta Abreu de Estévez, and as part of the activities, the planting of the tamarind tree in the Loma del Capiro was also part of the activities, since the first foundational mass of the city was held there.

Ten personalities, including community leaders, teachers, artists, representatives of the health sector, sportsmen and women and combatants, were awarded the distinction for Cultural Collaboration with the city.

Among those honored were professor Eraida Campos Maura of the Central University "Marta Abreu" of Las Villas and broadcaster Domingo Machín de la Peña, who received the status of Illustrious Son of the city of Santa Clara.
