Cebu’s Sinulog Festival is absolutely one of the most anticipated event every January. Sinulog Festival of Cebu is a week-long celebration of religious and cultural significance. The festival commemorates the first Christian baptism in the Philippines in 1521 during the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan. As a baptismal gift to Hara Amihan, the wife of the Cebu chieftain, He gave an image of Sto. Nino or the Child Jesus. Several days later Magellan died in a battle in neighboring Mactan Island.

I definitely dream about going to this party place again. The live music at Venues in San Francisco was an added bonus, providing a backdrop for the fun hours spent imbibing, tasting, and chatting up with the breweries and beer distributors.
