The organizers of the Sinulog Festival 2015 have already released the official schedule for next year’s activities. The month-long celebration offers several activities, though most of the tourists prefer to visit Cebu and watch the Sinulog Grand Parade set on January 18.
Expect hotels and inns to be fully booked for the Sinulog Festival, so you’d better check the schedule below to determine which activities suit you best. This way, you’ll be able to decide the exact date you will visit Cebu as well as book the hotel rooms early before they begin running out of space.
A month before the Sinulog is celebrated, several relevant activities are put to action.
December 01 – January 31, 2015 : Sinulog Street Fair, Osmeña Blvd.
