The festival is considered to be one of the most popular festivals in the Philippines, with every celebration of the festival routinely attracting around 1 to 2 million people from all over the Philippines every year.

The dance is accompanied by the sound of drums: all the time moving two steps forward followed by one step backwards. Though the dance is already very old, the festival is rather young! 1980 was the first year that the festival as organised.
The Origin
The Sinulog was already danced by the locals in honour of their wooden statues in the period before Cebuanos were baptised. Later on, after the image of the famous Santo Niño was brought to Cebu and the Catholic faith was established in the region, the dance was made a part of the yearly fiesta in honour of the Santo Niño. While dancing, people are shouting petitions and thanksgiving to the Santo Niño, Shouting is necessary because the pilgrims have to be sure they will be heard by the Santo Niño Alegria holds a much smaller version of the festival and elsewhere in various other parts of Cebu to celebrate and honour the Santo Niño.
