To protect farmers and folk from the sun and the rain, the sarok, a conical hat made from bamboo strips and dried banana leaves, becomes the needed fad for the people of Consolacion. The festival was traditionally celebrated every 14th of February to coincide with its charter day celebrations. However, the Sarok Festival evolved into a free interpretation dance, with the musical concept inspired from the Miligoy de Cebu, a published Filipino folk dance originating from the same place. The festival is now celebrated in October.

THE proposed construction of the Cebu North Coastal Road will cost the national government around P2.3 billion. The road project is a 9.45 kilometer highway running through the coastal areas of Mandaue City, Consolacion and Lilo-an.
The proposed road section will link the new Mandaue City central business district and government center and the new Northern Metro Cebu urban development area. The latter encompasses the Mactan International Airport, the Mactan Export Processing Zone and the Mandaue reclamation.
