Sugbo Mercado Is Moving to a New Lot in Cebu IT Park
The Cebu IT Park night market is leaving its lot in front of Avida Towers for the site beside JPMorgan Chase. Tents were up on 9 August 2026 but the new lot was not yet trading.
Sugbo Mercado is relocating within Cebu IT Park. The night market is leaving the open lot in front of Avida Towers, beside the transport terminal, and moving to the lot next to the JPMorgan Chase building, off Inez Villa Street. As of 9 August 2026 the new site was still being set up. Update, 1 November 2026: the market is trading in IT Park again. Its Facebook page lists IT Park as open Monday to Sunday, 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM, and it ran costume nights through October. Its recent posts do not say which lot it is trading on, so that part stays open until it is checked on site.
Reported by Suroy Newsdesk.
The move has been confirmed by the market itself. A post on the official Sugbo Mercado Facebook page states that “Sugbo Mercado’s relocation is in progress” and that it will be serving again at a new site. No opening date for the new lot was ever published.
The first public sign came on 30 May 2026, when vendors had been told 28 June 2026 could be their final day of operations at the existing site, with pull-out the following day.
In August the new site was being built on the lot beside the JPMorgan Chase building, a few minutes’ walk from the old one.
