Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival

 

Hello! I just came back from my home leave vacation and it’s been a while.

My blog for today is about the famous festival in Cebu and one of the grandest festivals in Philippines, the Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival. This festival is an annual cultural and religious festival held every third Sunday of January in Cebu City, and is the center of the Santo Niño Catholic celebrations in the Philippines. The festival is considered to be first of most popular festivals in the Philippines, with every celebration of the festival routinely attracting around 1 to 2 million people from all over the Philippines every year not only Filipinos but also foreigners.  You can witness the colorful costumes during the Street dancing of every contingent (photo above (ccto)). Aside from the religious aspect of the festival, Sinulog is also famous for its street parties, usually happening the night before and the night of the main festival.

I am looking forward for my next Sinulog Festival (fingers cross). You should try and celebrate Sinulog Festival.

 

That’s all for my blog.
