The Cebu Sinulog 2011 Mardi Gra
Have you ever thought of being in a city with all of the festivities of a mardigras? Yes for sure nothing else could be better than being out there and have all of the best of festivals, colors, rhythm and joys! If you plan to go on one great trip, then you should try Cebu Sinulog 2011.
For years, this has been the one thing that makes all Cebuanos proud of their roots. What person would not love to go out if there are a lot of contingents dancing in the streets, with all of their wonderfully colored and intricately-made costumes and make-up.
Year in and out, there are a lot of tourists local and foreign alike who would visit the city and witness the festivity. Aside from the festivities, this is also a religious event that is made in honor of the patron saint of the city, the Sto. Nino.
It is said that the image of the child Jesus was brought by the Spanish colonizers to the native tribe of Cebu which was led by Datu Humabon. It was given to his wife as a gift. One day, the tribe's nipa huts where burned down by some unknown men. The image was placed inside a box and while everything else turned to ashes, the image remained perfect. It never was scathed and it simply turned dark. This, later became the popular mark of the patron saint of the city.
This is a festival that is known not only for all of the wonderful things and sights that people witness on the street but this is also a witness of the people's faith. All of the people in the mardigras are going to dance in the “Sinulog” which literally means the flow of the water of the river, which means two steps forward and a step backward. This is being done to honor the child Jesus.

15 out of town groups in Sinulog
15 provinces and cities outside Cebu will join some 30 local contingents in next month’s Sinulog grand parade, which will also feature 500 performers for the grand finale.
Next month’s Sinulog will pay tribute to the Chinese community and celebrate Chinese influence in the local culture and economy.
Sinulog Foundation Inc. (SFI) executive director Ricky Ballesteros said although they can’t match the production numbers during the opening of the Beijing Olympics, they will try to do something similar to give the parade an authentic Chinese feel.
Aside from the performances, the stage and street décor for the grand parade will also have a touch of Chinese, including the use of huge drums and other Chinese musical instruments.
The contingents will still perform the traditional "two steps forward, one step backward" Sinulog dance, but organizers expect the music and props to feature Chinese influences.
