Here are
some activities you can choose to do during the
Sinulog Celebrations, these are just options so this can't be a MUST DO; just giving you guys and gals some alternatives (for first-timers who absolutely no clue):
 |
| Masses are held during the week before the Celebrations |
1. PRAY AND GIVE TRIBUTE TO THE CHILD JESUS - this is the core of the
Sinulog Celebrations, give thanks, visit, see, pray for blessings and the like to the Basilica of Santo Niño. You may want to be early to avoid the crowds or just go and see how many people are attracted to the place.
2. EAT LOCAL FOOD AND COOKING - you may want to stay in the metro or the city (larsian or the like), or go as far as north or even south Cebu just to get a taste of these local hidden gems if you're the adventurous type.

3. BE AT THE BEACH - for those who are from the north or southern Cebuanos, since it may take a lot to go to the city, some will opt to chill out in local beaches and keep up to date with the Sinulog Celebrations from a live telecast. Most local beaches aren't that crowded during these times except if your in a resort that is.
4. CHILL AND FIND INNER PEACE - for some Cebuanos, they take this opportunity to do some R&R with their families or self. But of course, without sacrificing tradition (most have done ahead of time the visitation to the child Jesus and novena masses.

5. FIND LOCAL TOURS - there's walking tours, heritage tours or just going to towns and provinces in Cebu. Or if you have local friends who are willing and able, back pack to your chosen locations!

6. WAIT FOR THE FIREWORKS - If your the nocturnal type,well there are a lot of commercialized activities in varied establishments, but if your looking for something you can share with the family and friends, fireworks displays are always awesome. To date, there's one in the Fuente Area, and in the Cebu Business Park Area.
Do you have some activities of your own? Do share!
