It’s time for the King of Festivals again! The much-awaited Kadayawan Festival 2012 in Davao City is set to take place on August 17 to 19, 2012! The 2012 Kadayawan sa Dabaw Festival will feature the theme: “10 Tribes, 1 Vibe” The 10 Davao tribes that truly celebrate the diversity of Davao City’s cultures are Ata, Matigsalug, Ovu-Manuvo, Tagabawa, Klata-Djangan, Tausog, Maguindanao, Kagan, Maranao and Sama.
The term “Kadayawan” is taken from the Mandaya word “madayaw,” which is a friendly greeting used to explain something that’s good, bountiful, superior or profitable. If you’ll be in Davao for the 2012 Kadayawan, you will for sure encounter this word often 🙂
In Davao City, the Kadayawan Festival is the grandest, most colorful festival whereby locals gather and celebrate life, tradition, culture and ask the gods for good harvest. There are a lot of Kadayawan Festival 2012 events and activities. Stay tuned for the complete list of schedules. You can SUBSCRIBE to Mindanaoan to be kept updated.
