The Best of Sugbo Mercado Market

With a wide array of food stalls, visitors can indulge in an unforgettable journey reflecting Cebu’s rich food heritage, which is now gaining wider attention as a global culinary treasure. Sugbo Mercado at Seagrove opened last December 15–17 as well and will resume its operations on January 19–21 from 4 pm to 9 pm.
What sets Sugbo Mercado Market apart is its refined and diverse range of homegrown talent and flavors. The food vendors here represent the best in Cebu who have honed their skills through various platforms and are ready to share their creations on a world-class stage like Seagrove.
Roll Your Way to Big Fun in Mactan
In addition to the delectable food offerings, Seagrove opens Cebu’s first Roll Park, a skate and bike park designed for active people and sports enthusiasts. With its scenic and dedicated areas, Roll Park provides a safe and exciting arena for bikers, skateboarders, and rollerbladers.
