NUSTAR Resort and Casino in Cebu is set to become a central hub for the vibrant Sinulog 2026 festivities, hosting a comprehensive week-long celebration designed to unite the community. From January 12 to 18, 2026, the integrated resort will transform into a destination where faith, culture, and fun converge, offering guests and locals a convenient and immersive festival experience without needing to brave the crowded city streets.
A Cultural Hub at the Heart of the Festival
The spiritual core of NUSTAR's celebration is the Sto. Niño Shrine located within the property, which will remain open to all visitors throughout the festival period. This space honors the religious foundations of Sinulog. Complementing the shrine are two special exhibits running the entire week: the Sto. Niño Images Exhibit and the Festival Queens’ Costumes Exhibit. These displays offer a profound look into the deep traditions and exquisite craftsmanship that give the Sinulog its rich meaning and visual splendor.
Community, Crafts, and Carnival Spirit
Beyond the exhibits, NUSTAR is fostering a lively marketplace and entertainment scene. The Sinulog Artisan Fair at The Mall at NUSTAR will be a highlight, showcasing the best of Cebuano talent. Visitors can expect to find local delicacies, uniquely handcrafted items, and products from Cebu's artisans and small businesses. The festival energy peaks from January 16 to 18 with scheduled cultural shows, roaming Sinulog Ambassadors, and a colorful parade within the resort grounds, ensuring a dynamic atmosphere.
Seamless and Accessible Celebrations
Understanding the logistical challenges of a major festival, NUSTAR has designed its activities for maximum convenience. Guests can effortlessly move between the various exhibits, performances, and fairs without leaving the property. To further support accessibility for both Cebuano residents and tourists, NUSTAR is providing free shuttle services with multiple access points.
