Sinulog 2013 Schedule of Activites


Last January of 2012, Cebu experienced yet another wet (and wild?) mardi gras which spanned for streets on end.The revelers made use of this with a change of shirts and painting their faces with water-soluble colours that melted with a mix of rain and sweat. Even the festival queens and street dancers had nothing left to do, than to  thank and praise the Niño (boy) for quenching the heat of the asphalt.


This year, I plan to give you a peek of how this festival looks like, from a commoner's point-of-view. Straight from my trusty 8.1 megapixel point-and-shoot, I bring you the happenings of Sinulog 2013. Til then, see you!

For those who wish to indulge in the entire experience, here's a complete list of activities:
