The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala used its official Twitter account on October 20, 2025, to highlight cultural and sporting events in the country. The posts promoted upcoming concerts and public celebrations as well as recent community activities.

In a tweet published at 20:52 UTC, the ministry announced preparations for a concert involving national musical groups. According to the post, " Esta mañana la @OSNGuate y la Banda Sinfónica Marcial del Ejército de Guatemala realizaron un ensayo general para el concierto Revolución, donde las detonaciones de los cañones y las campanas de la Catedral Metropolitana se fundirán con las notas de la Obertura 1812." The event is set to feature the National Symphony Orchestra of Guatemala and the Martial Symphonic Band of the Guatemalan Army, with musical highlights including cannon fire and cathedral bells accompanying Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture."

A subsequent tweet posted at 20:52 UTC provided details about the event’s timing and location: "¡No faltes a esta celebración de identidad y cultura! 20 de octubre 19:00 horas Plaza de la Constitución Entrada libre #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero" The concert will take place on October 20 at Plaza de la Constitución with free admission.

Later that evening, at 22:05 UTC, the ministry shared information about another community event: " La Carrera Leyendas de Guatemala llenó de vida nuestras calles, donde familias, amigos y atletas compartieron una experiencia única. Una jornada que reflejó el amor por nuestras raíces y el poder del deporte para unirnos. ¡Gracias por ser parte de esta celebración! " This message referred to a running event called "Carrera Leyendas de Guatemala," which aimed to bring together families and athletes while celebrating Guatemalan heritage.
