Celebrate Cebu festivals in July at the Cebu Grand!

This July, two unforgettable Cebu festivals – the Sayawan Festival and the Banig Festival – will be taking place, and Cebu tourists will once again come flocking to the Queen City of the South. You know what that means for those of us at the Cebu Grand: another great opportunity to showcase our beautiful Cebu to all you beautiful people!

The Banig Festival is one of the more popular festivals in Cebu. This Cebu festival, which takes place in Badian town on July 5, celebrates the popular native handwoven mat known as 'banig.' During the Banig Festival, a trade fair featuring various handicrafts and native delicacies utilizing this ubiquitous Filipino indigenous product made from the fibers of the pandan plant, takes place. Street dancing in banig costumes and banig-making competitions are other highlights of the festival.

On July 25, the Sayawan Festival – literally translated from the Filipino word meaning 'dance' – takes place in Cordova town. During this festival in Cebu, Cebuanos living in Cordova take to the streets to the rhythm of tribal beats in honor of Saint James the Apostle. Tourists who come to Cordova during this festival in Cebu are frequently invited into the homes of the villagers to sample native delicacies.
