festivel

2. The Kadayawan Festival is an annual festival in the city of Davao
in the Philippines. Its name derives from the friendly greeting
"Madayaw", from the Dabawenyo word "dayaw", meaning good, valuable
and beautiful.

3. The festival is a
celebration of life, a
thanksgiving for the
gifts of nature, the
wealth of culture,
the bounties of
harvest and serenity
of living. It is held
every third week of
August.

4. It was said that, long time ago, Davao's ethnic tribes residing at
the foot of Mount Apo would converge during a bountiful harvest.
This ritual serves as their thanksgiving to the gods.

5. Various farming
implements , fruits,
flowers, vegetables,
rice corn and grains
were displayed on
mats as villagers give
their respect and
thanks for the year's
abundance. Singing,
dancing and
offerings to their
divine protectors are
the highlights of this
ritual.

6. Although times have changed. This tradition flourished and
evolved into an annual festival of thanksgiving.

7. Finally in 1988, renamed the festival as "Kadayawan sa Dabaw" to
celebrate the bountiful harvest of Davao's flowers, fruits and other
produce as well as the wealth of the city's cultures. To this day, the
festival continues to honor the city's richness and diverse artistic,
cultural and historical heritage in a grand celebration of thanksgiving
for all of Davao City's blessings.
