The country’s biggest, grandest and most awaited festival is nearly coming —the Sinulog Festival 2009.

Sinulog festival is the country’s biggest pageantry of sights, sounds and colors as it honors and pays homage to the patron saint of Cebu , the child Jesus — Sr. Sto. Niño. Aside from the main spectacle which is the Sinulog Grand parade, there are also other activities lined up by the Cebu City Government and the Sinulog Foundation until the grand highlights of the festival from January 9-18, 2009.

Just yesterday(January 9, 2009), the street had been very crowded for its opening salvo. A “street dance” was vividly seen by public from Sto. Niño Church to Cebu City Sports Complex.
