The Festivals themselves consists
of streets filled with parades and decorations, colourful costumes, lots of
dancing and music (ranging from drums to trumpets, and to native gongs)
prepared by different groups. It lasts for 9 days, and everything leads up to
the Grand Parade.

The “Fluvial Procession” is held
at dawn with a statue of Santo Nino, the day before the parade.
The Grand Parade culminates all
the festivities that occur throughout the nine days, and also include a variety
of competitions for performers and dancers of different types.
The word “Sinulog” is derived
from the Cebuano adverb “Sulog” which roughly means, “to move like water”,
which is intended to describe the forward-backward nature of the dance.
