UPDATE: 31st Kadayawan Sa Dabaw #Kadayawan2016 #DavaoCity #OfficialEvents

Davao City, Philippines - The Festival of Festivals is about to come, the annual celebration in the city of Davao happened every 3rd week of August ( August 15-21, 2016). The Kadayawan is the celebration of LIFE, a thanksgiving of the gifts from the nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties harvest and serenity of all Dabawenyos living in Davao. Not only focuses the people in downtown Davao itself, but the multicolored mix Davao has, includes the Mindanao's indigenous communities as well as the migrant settlers which identities describe the richness of the island cultural heritage.
