Held every third week of August, the Kadayawan Festival is celebrated annually as a thanksgiving ritual for having abundant harvest. The name of the festival is derived from the local dialect’s friendly greeting, “Madayaw,” which means “treasured or valuable.”
According to the report available from the Davao Tourism website, the festival’s history is dated back to the thanksgiving rituals that were done by the Davao locals when they meet at Mt. Apo to express their appreciation to a god known as “Manama.” More often than not, their offerings ranges from farm produce, fresh fruits, rice, and green vegetables.
