LIST: Sinulog 2020 events

CEBU CITY, Philippines – The 40th celebration of the Sinulog Festival will be marked by weeklong activities, which would also also kick off the countdown to the quincentennial.

While heavy traffic is a given, the good news is that there would be no signal shutdown this year, unlike in previous years – unless police decide otherwise, for security reasons. (READ: Cebu City allows street parties during Sinulog Grand Parade)
