The Sinulog is an annual festival held on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City, Maasin City, Southern Leyte, Philippines and Balingasag, Misamis Oriental. The festival commemorates the Filipino people's pagan origin, and their acceptance of Roman Catholicism.
The main feature is a street parade with participants in bright coloured costumes dancing to the rhythm of drums, trumpets and native gongs.
Smaller versions of the festival are held in various parts of the
province, also to celebrate and honor the Santo Niño. There is also a
"Sinulog sa Kabataan" performed by the youths of Cebu a week before the
parade. Recently, the festival has been promoted as a tourist
attraction, with a contest featuring contingents from various parts of
the country. The Sinulog Contest is usually held in the Cebu City Sports Complex.
