Cebu is one of those cities that I have fell in love with. It is fresh, fashionable, and simply the kind of hustle and bustle that gives you peace at the same time.

One of the city's highlights is its annual festivity to honor Sr. Sto. Niño. People will crowd the Basilica Minor of Sto. Niño in Cebu City, Philippines. They pray and give thanks to child Jesus.

Different activities are held on this occasion. This includes Miss Cebu, which is one of the prestigious beauty pageant in the country. The firework contest and exhibitions from SM and Ayala malls gives night-walkers' their fill.

But one grand occasion defines it all, the Sinulog festival-- the Grand Parade.

Streets will start to get busy, major roads connecting to Fuente all through-out the Basilica will be closed and people will start to fill it to witness the floats and dancing.

Contingents from different part of the country participate in this street dancing competition organized by the city. It was an amazing experience seeing colorful costumes and props turned into art by traditional dances.

People at night becomes more saturated in General Maxilom area where clubs and street parties are raving. This includes a lot of alcohol and casualties. So a tip, be a responsible person and stay away from things that can ruin your experience.

Schedule of activities are usually ready for people to view two months prior of the said month event. Before I usually take the time to reblog the schedule from the committee's website and facebook page.

Now, I'm physically far from my home country. Hoping to get a lot of pictures on facebook to get envy with.

What's your plan for this coming Sinulog 2016?

But these Sinulog season, you should easily dine at the fuente circle where there are lots of stalls. From what I've already mentioned, add the live performance on stage which are produced by different institutions scheduled every night.
