One of the most popular events/destinations during the Christmas season in Cebu City is the Kasadya Sa Colon. This yearly activity which is organized by the city government, turns Colon Street – the oldest street in the country – into a lively and festive night market.
The age-old street is filled with stalls selling fruits, midnight snacks, shoes, home supplies, ready-to-wear items, and lots more. The event allows small Cebuano and Muslim business operators to sell their products and services.
This year, the Colon Night Market ran from November 16 until December 30, 2012. The Night Market will once again open in June for the celebration of the Cebu Business Month.
Here are some photos that I snapped during the last night of the event. Enjoy!

Indeed nice to promote Colon, the oldest street in the Philippines. We used to watch movies in the numerous sinehan dinhi. Our Sunday kalingaw with my Ma and Pa after going to mass, is go to Colon to watch a movie and then go to Visayan restaurant to have a meal
I have been in CEBU CITY and it is really a wonderful place. Though we haven’t really venture to this part of Cebu, we have been passing it for the 3 days we’ve been there.
The pictures are a little blurry though. But still two thumbs up for this blog.

Kadaghang tawo; kadaghan sa baligya! Pagka-alegre gyod sa Sugbo!
Thanks Ley. Sadya kaayong tan-awon. Overtime ang mga vendors ug ang mga customers, di overtime pod ang mga drivers. Sadya kaayo ang ilang pasko.
