The Sinulog Opening Parade, often referred to as Sinulog Opening Salvo, is an event that officially marks the start of the Sinulog festivities in Cebu City. Usually, the event begins with a parade that runs from downtown Cebu City and ends at the Cebu City Sports Center where a program is held.
The event is an important part of the Sinulog celebrations in Cebu City because various sectors take part in it. Present during the parade and the subsequent program are local government officials, Cebuana beauty queens, Girls and Boys Scouts, the Cebu City Brass Band, motorcycle and sports car enthusiasts, public high school contingents, private high school and college contingents, and more!
