Last May 1-8, 2010 the first Cebu Sports Fest drew domestic and
foreign tourists with an attendance of over 80,000 and was venue for
Cebu’s successful bid to the Guinness World Record on the most number
of fireworks (128,501 rockets) fired in one time. Last May 14-21,
2011, the second Cebu Sports Fest drew in domestic and foreign
tourists participating in over 23 sports in land, sea and air.
Although this year’s Cebu Sports Fest is skipped to next year, Lim
remains confident of the potential of this event to become highly
successful. “Sinulog was not an overnight sensation either. It took
years for it to become the most successful festival it is today. Cebu
Fest is an event that offers great opportunities. We just need to
give it time to evolve.”
