SCHEDULE: Sinulog Festival 2025

CEBU, Philippines – The Sinulog festival is officially returning to the center of the Queen City of the South, Cebu City, which will welcome the arrival of thousands of devotees, tourists, and festival goers joining the celebration.

This year, the Sinulog Foundation Incorporated (SFI) has confirmed that the festival day will be on January 19, going back to the tradition of celebrating the feast day on the third Sunday of the month.

The theme of the 2025 celebration is “Sinulog: One Beat, One Dance, One Vision,” a nod to the traditional theme of the Sinulog in previous years.

The Cebu City government, police, and other agencies will be implementing new traffic routes, liquor and street party bans, and law enforcement operations to ensure a safe experience for Sinulog participants.

To prepare for the upcoming celebration, check out the full Sinulog 2025 schedule below.
