Kadayawan Celebration
Dabawenyong Lumad is pleased to announce that on August 17-19, 2012, the City of Davao will be celebrating its annual “Kadayawan Festival”.
Legally founded in 1986, the word “Kadayawan” is derived substantially from the tribal term, “Madayaw“, which means good or bountiful. The indigenous people of Davao had coined the word”Madayaw” as a way of expressing their gratitude to a bountiful outcome of a harvest. Whether it be rice, fruits, livestock, Davao lumads owe their thanks to their supreme deity popularly known to them as “Manama”.
During the occasion, the tribal people would put forth their generous harvests including their farming tools as offering to their deities and consequently rejoice in the occasion through dances, music and banquets.
This annual thanksgiving usually involve street parades, flower displays, cultural exhibits and market displays of various products and services of the City.
Kadayawan celebrations all through the years, continue to exemplify Davao’s rich and diverse cultural heritage and has promoted the Region as an exceptional tourist destination in the country.
Come join us.
