About Sinulog:
Sinulog Festival is held every third week in Cebu as thanksgiving to its patron, Senor Santo Nino, or the Holy Child Jesus. Various activities are lined up each year and during the festivities and there will be a 9-day novena at the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu.

Some of the things that every cebuano awaits are the fluvial procession and the foot procession, the nightly variety shows, and of course, the search for Miss Cebu 2012! Oh don't forget the street festival-dance-parade.

And if you are not into the street travelling or partying, you have many options as well. Sinulog is a perfect time to explore old houses, churches of Cebu and other cultural heritage sites. If you get hungry and want to stay away from malls, local delicacies is a possibility or just shop till you drop for local export quality products like hand bags, furnitures, and fashion accessories.

So, are you ready for Sinulog 2012!?
