City di Mare hosts Cebu’s Sinulog Festival for 2nd year
EVERY year during January, Cebu draws in an average of 500,000 guests from all over the world to celebrate one of the country’s biggest and most popular festivals, the Sinulog Festival — a vibrant celebration that consists of colorful costumes, fluvial parades and endless music to honor the image of the Child Jesus — Sto. Niño de Cebu.
This year, the festivity was grander and more colorful as City di Mare (CdM), the 58-hectare premier coastal township along South Road Properties (SRP), celebrated the Sinulog Festival for the second time as it welcomed Cebuanos and tourists alike with the culmination of the Sinulog festivities at CdM’s threehectare Events Grounds.
With 30 percent of its property dedicated to open and green spaces, CdM has been the best go-to destination for various outdoor events that the community can partake post-pandemic — from concerts such as the Aurora Festival and Summer Pop Up featuring popular OPM and homegrown artists; sporting competitions like runs, endurance races and dragon boat competitions to festivities, including the Sinulog Festival.
With its accessible location, CdM is only 21 kilometers away from MactanCebu International Airport, 7 km away from the newly opened Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, and 6.6 km from Cebu City.
It is centered within major thoroughfares like the Cebu South Coastal Road that plies Mandaue and Talisay, and Imus Avenue in Cebu City. Furthermore, the dedicated shuttle buses to CdM allow public access to SRP while improving foot traffic and increasing business investment in the district.
