Many have witnessed this year’s most breathtaking view in the waters of Cebu today, January 18, 2020 — an annual event held every third Saturday of January (a day before Sinulog).

Hundreds of decorated boats, barges and yachts, a rain of confetti from helicopters, drum beats and the lively cheers are enough to put someone and every Sugboanon in the festive atmosphere.

The fluvial procession is an annual tradition that marks the start of the official Sinulog festival. Although it is a solemn event in sending Sto. Niño to visit his foster father, St. Joseph at the St. Joseph Parish in Mandaue City.

Thousands of pilgrims are expected to flock to Cebu for the grandest festival of the South.

Devotees will be greeted by Cebuanos’ vibrant hues of dresses, or even headpieces often trimmed with feathers. Others would be seen carrying their own replicas of Sto. Niño, dancing in a festive mood. These pilgrims dance to the spell-binding beat of the drums and the gongs while shouting the mantra cry of “Pit Senyor!”

Much more than grooving to the beat, Cebuanos and visitors alike also look forward to seeing their idols up close and personal because famous personalities from different networks are also expected to grace the festival. Hence, spectators pave their way to the venues to meet their idols.

Whether you live for festival style or otherwise, Sinulog festival outfit ideas is upon us!

We have all come to expect the flower crowns, boho dresses, neck chokers, but dressing for the much-awaited Sinulog festical doesn’t have to be so predictable.

Get inspired by these outfit ideas to get your Sinulog OOTD right. Shop fresh outfit ideas for this year’s festival may it be in a fancy mall or thrifted somewhere else. Regardless, ace that outfit!

BE COOL IN A CAMO

You don’t really have to wear a flower crown and a boho dress. You can wear a tube top and a camo pants for a breezier and cooler Sinulog festival.

MATCH IT, MATCHY

If you want to look put together and dressed for the occasion without having to put that much effort, this is what you have to cop. Bonus points if you’re wearing a matchy matchy in bright color or with vibrant prints. Nonetheless, a denim on denim match won’t hurt too.

BRA TOP IS UP

This look has been on trend for the last couple of months and the best way to pull it off is to pair it with a high-waisted skirt or pants, even a jumper!

WHITE IS THE NEW BLACK

They say that nothing can go wrong when you wear white especially if you’re into the street parties. White should be your go-to shirt because apart from looking tidy, it will be so easy to pair with either pants, shorts, even a skirt. Go look for your crisp white tee!

SHEER OR BARE

If you have been looking for a time to be bold, it’s during Sinulog. Now is your chance to wear a swimsuit cover-up as a dress and fully ace it because with Cebu’s humid weather, who would care?

DO-IT-YOURSELF FOR YOURSELF

If you’re someone who loves to DIY because of course, we want our own personal touches, there are a lot of ways to do it. You can either make your own shirt or cut your own shorts. Regardless, it’s your own personal choice and that’s all that matters.

“Celebrate Cebu” is Cebu City’s new tourism brand

“Celebrate Cebu” will be the new catchphrase and is expected to be uttered in a number of different ways – as a declaration of pride, expression of delight, or even a sign of exasperation.

Visiting Cebu will have the same feeling of excitement, but with a different kind of branding. But one thing is for sure, regardless of how it is used, it will become a significant part of the local culture and vernacular starting today.

celebratecebu-newtourism-5 — Opening remarks by Cebu City Vice Mayor Mike Rama

celebratecebu-newtourism-6 — Unveiling of Cebu City’s Tourism brand

The new Cebu City Tourism brand was unveiled last night, January 15, 2020 during The Gala held at The Grand Convention Center. The tagline: “Celebrate Cebu” will be used in the reactivated promotion of Cebu City as a travel and convention destination of the South.

To fully promote the events, tours, farm sights, spiritual, adventure and sports tourism, hotels, food outlets, medical facility, and retail outlets, we will now be having a pro-active site and all the best of Cebu will be highlighted.

celebratecebu-newtourism-8 — Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella

“The passengers who came to Cebu numbering about 11,524,000 coming from all over the world just to be here in Cebu. And then long after, a year after, as of December 31, 2019, 850,000 additional passengers coming from all over the world came to Cebu and we have a record 12,320,000 came to Cebu as tourists and returning residents, and as balikbayans,”
– Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella

This alone says a lot about the re-branding and we couldn’t agree more. Having a big chunk of tourists coming to our beloved Cebu to experience the beauty of our place is enough reason to “Celebrate Cebu.”

May this serve as a reminder to everyone to always be responsible laagans and to preserve the beauty of the place we call home.”
