The Sinulog festival is one of the most awaited and colorful festivals in the Philippines. Listen to the astounding rythm and dance to the beat of the drums. Be captivated by the colorful parade of participants, floats, towering giants or higantes as we call them on our native language and be blown away by the startling beauties of the festival Queens and dancers.
The main festival is held each year on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City to honor the Santo Niño, or the child Jesus, who used to be the patron saint of the whole province of Cebu. It is essentially a dance ritual which remembers the Filipino people’s pagan past and their acceptance of Christianity.
This event has been commercialized as a tourist attraction. People from various countries join the massive crowd to witness this festive occassion. So get ready and feel the excitement and addicting beat of Sinulog. Pit Senyor!
