Cebu City – Local and foreign tourists joining this year’s Gabii sa Kabiliin (Heritage Night) will be brought to at least 39 attractions including museums and heritage sites in the cities of Cebu, Talisay, Mandaue, and Lapu-Lapu, organizers said.

Now on its 10th year, Gabii sa Kabilin is expected to attract more than 3,000 tourists who are interested in visiting Cebu’s museums, heritage sites, ancestral houses, and tourist attractions for a night of historical journey.

This year’s Gabii sa Kabilin will be held on May 27, culminating on the National Heritage Month celebration’s International Museum’s Day.

Gabii sa Kabilin was kicked off on May 25, 2007 with only three museums–Casa Gorordo Museum, Cathedral Museum of Cebu, and Basilica del Santo Niño – and one heritage site, Fort Santiago comprising the original itinerary.

During the one-night event, participants will be treated to cultural performances, culinary treats, art fairs and special exhibits, among others. Selected participating sites also offer activities for children.

In particular, new participating sites GMR Mega wide and Golden Prince Hotel will showcase their own exhibits, while at the Paulina Constancia Museum of Naive Art (MoNA) located at West Gorordo Hotel, participants can join a scavenger hunt, listen to storytelling of myths and legend, among other special activities.
