Here’s an itinerary of sorts to help you make the most out of the festival.

6:00 a.m. – ATTEND THE NOVENA MASS AT STO. NINO

At the heart of the Sinulog Festival is a celebration in honor of the Santo Nino. Head over to the Basilica for the last of the nine-day Novena Masses to kick off the festivities properly.

7:30 a.m. – BREAKFAST AT JOLLIBEE

ultimateburgersteak-drink
With a crazy day ahead, breakfast is non-negotiable. Jollibee is already well-loved by locals, but tourists definitely need to try this fast-food favorite. A breakfast steak with sunny side up eggs will fuel you through most of the morning.

Bunting 2

9:30 a.m. – WATCH THE STREET PARADE

Find your way to the Grandstands or look for a nice spot along Mango Avenue for the unique spectacle that is the street parade. Don’t forget your cameras for all those photo opportunities with the creative floats and the colorful costumes of the street dancers.

Bunting 2

11:30 a.m. – BUY FACE PAINT AT NATIONAL BOOKSTORE

If you haven’t gotten around to it, we recommend a stopover at the National Bookstore along Mango Avenue to stock up on some non-toxic poster paint for all those parties in the afternoon. Make sure to pick out the most colorful ones!

Bunting 2

12:00 n.n. – LUNCH AT THE BROWN CUP


Tucked in one of the smaller streets within the area, this homegrown coffee shop is the perfect place to cool off (or dry off, if it rains) while you refuel your stomachs. The pesto butter pork chop is hearty and filling.

Bunting 2

2:00 p.m. – PARTY AT ALEJANDRO’S

sinulog-sa-ale
Century Plaza is one of the best places to party during Sinulog. We highly recommend getting a VIP pass at Alejandro’s Crispy Pata. With it comes access to the restaurant (read: decent bathrooms and actual chairs), moderately priced drinks, and it helps that it’s home to the best crispy pata in town.

Bunting 2

5:00 p.m. – PARTY AT INVASION TOUR

invasion2
Spectrum’s Invasion Tour is one of the most anticipated events during the festival. Battle through the crowds and get yourselves to the SHS-J Gym for the most hip and happening party this side of the streets. P.S. Zee Lifestyle will be there with a nifty charging station, so make sure you like our Facebook and Instagram for exclusive access.

Bunting 2

8:00 p.m. – DINNER AT HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights Harolds
If you’re still up and about (and relatively sober), then good for you! Reward yourself with dinner at the roof deck of Harold’s Hotel, where you can enjoy a nice view of the city over more drinks, in a quieter setting.

Bunting 2

9:00 p.m. – FIREWORKS AT AYALA CENTER CEBU

Fireworks-by-Morten-Almqvist
You can linger at Highlights to watch the show, or walk a couple of blocks to Cebu Business Park for Ayala Malls’ exciting fireworks spectacle to conclude one epic day.

Bunting 2

10:00 p.m. – PARTY ON!

sinulog-party
Honestly, Sinulog lasts up until the next day. If you’re still game to continue partying, it’s worth going back to Alejandro’s or the Invasion Tour. Alternately, you can hang out in pubs, like Politics in Escario Central, or at Sugbo Mercado at either Cebu Business Park, Cebu IT Park, or heck maybe even South Road Properties.
