City di Mare hosts Cebu’s Sinulog Festival for the 2nd year

Every January, Cebu attracts around 500,000 visitors globally to partake in one of the Philippines' largest and most renowned festivals, the Sinulog Festival. This lively celebration features vibrant costumes, fluvial parades, and continuous music as a tribute to the image of the Child Jesus – Sto. Niño de Cebu.

In its second year, the celebration at City Di Mare, the expansive 58-hectare coastal township along South Road Properties (SRP), has become even more magnificent and vibrant. It marked the culmination of the Sinulog Festival, warmly welcoming both Cebuanos and tourists to the 3-hectare Events Grounds at CDM.

With 30 percent of its property dedicated to open and green spaces, CDM has been the best go-to destination for various outdoor events that the community can partake postpandemic – from concerts such as the Aurora Festival and Summer Pop Up featuring popular OPM and homegrown artists; sporting competitions like runs, endurance races and dragon boat competitions to festivities, including the Sinulog Festival. 

CDM, with its accessible location, is only 21km away from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, 7km away from the newly opened Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, and 6.6km from Cebu City. It is centered within major thoroughfares like the Cebu South Coastal Road that plies Mandaue and Talisay, and Imus Avenue in Cebu City. Furthermore, the dedicated shuttle buses to CDM allow public access to SRP while improving foot traffic and increasing business investment in the district. 

Additionally, CDM’s location offers a very strategic advantage with SRP poised to become the new economic hub in Cebu that is backed by significant government investments and the relocation of local government offices. Various real estate investment opportunities are also opening in the district with Filinvest Land Inc. continuously developing CDM, touted as the largest master-planned, integrated city in the district where all essential needs – be it retail, dining, rest or commute – are all within reach. Within the township are various residential projects, like Amalfi and San Remo, for anyone considering relocating or looking for an investment option in South Road Properties. 

Apart from the residential clusters, CDM also houses the IL Corso Filinvest Mall, the only shopping and dining development by the sea where Sinulog Festival attendees explored retail and dining options during the exciting three-day festival.
