Kabankalan City is one of the 13 cities in Negros Occ, best known for its annual Sinulog Festival.
Kabankalan is the only province ‘authorized’ by Cebu to call the feast of Sto. Nino as Sinulog and simultaneously celebrate the event every 3rd Sunday of January. Iloilo’s version is called Dinagyang and Aklan’s is Ati-Atihan.
Kabankalan has wide main and side streets with the city plaza, and the church of St. Francis Xavier Parish as the center of local activities. Near the plaza and the church is the public market, various commercial establishments including Gaisano Mall, Mercury Drug Store and Jollibee, banks, stores, schools and soccer field. The city hall of Kabankalan which used to sit near the plaza has transferred office to a new building in a vast complex in Baranggay Talubangi.
