Schedule of Activities for Sinulog 2017

Plan your Sinulog 2017 early!

It’s that time of the year once again!

Let’s not forget the religious significance of the Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival and remind ourselves that the festival is in honor for the effigy of the child Jesus, a gift given to the Cebuanos 455 years ago symbolising the Country’s baptism into Catholicism.

Sinulog is the grandest and biggest festival in Cebu. So it’s best to know what events will be happening come January in order to avoid or attend any of them! Here’s the Schedule of Activities for the 2017 Sinulog Grand Festival. Now start customizing your calendar and let’s Pit Senyor!
