Kadayawan:
The Kadayawan is an
internationally renowned festival. It is a weeklong celebration
and thanksgiving for nature’s bountiful harvest and celebrated
annually every third week of August. The activity coincides with
the harvest time of Davao’s exotic fruits and the blooming of
the waling-waling (vanda sanderana). The culmination of the
festival is its most famous and much-awaited grand floral
parade. During the culmination, one can see countless and
breathtaking mobile floats full of real and fresh flowers, and
the dancing in the streets.
