Davao City is the land of the majestic Philippine Eagles and
mouth-watering Durian. KADAYAWAN is a festivity of life and thanksgiving for
the plentiful gifts of nature and peaceful living. It derives from the pleasant
Dabawenyo greeting, "Madayaw". Dayaw means good, precious, and
beautiful. So, if Madayaw is an
adjective , Kadayawan is a nown, as in goodness or honesty.
The Kadayawan festival is celebrated every August. Indak-Indak sa
Kadalanan ( Street Dancing) and Pamulak sa Kadayawan (Floral Float Parade) are
the main highlights of the Kadayawan sa Dabaw Festival 2017. It showcased the
different colors, cultures and traditional dances of the different tribes of
Davao and Mindanao as they paraded along the city.
Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan will showcase dance contingents from the different regions of Mindanao. A people's celebration and merriment through choreographed and theatrical street-dancing completion anchored on indigenous garbs, cultural performances and wit.
Pamulak sa Kadayawan will showcase of blooming and lush flora in a float parade and competition teeming with artistry as the floats impress the festival's theme and blessings of bounty.
