Sinulog 2009 - Grandest and most Colorful Festival in Cebu

Sinulog is the most anticipated event in Cebu Philippines. It is the grandest and most colorful Festival in Cebu and I am sorry to miss it. It is a month of fun and excitement as every night different bands from all over the country visit Cebu and play their best. It is a 9 days celebration in honor of Sto. NiƱo and it always ended on the third Sunday of January. There is always a religious parade (or prosisyon) on Saturday and followed by the a grand parade on Sunday. The Sinulog Grand Parade is a must event to see where contingents from various cities and provinces come to compete with a very colorful costume and dancing to the rhythm of drums and some music instruments.

Everybody was always excited for Sinulog. I am one of them, but this year was not able to attend. All I can do is read and watch some clips in YouTube. It was always fun to see people so excited and happy even if you have to walk all the way because all the jeepney is full or the street is "NO ENTRY". If you still did not experience Sinulog, I suggest you do it next year.
