Representatives of the 11 Tribes of Davao at the Opening of Kadayawan Festival 2016

Celebrate Smart Kadayawan 2016

Kadayawan Festival 2016 officially opened last Monday, August 15, 2016. And the best way to enjoy the festival is to have a Smart Kadayawan 2016 celebration.

Unlike most festivals in the Philippines, the Kadayawan Festival is a thanksgiving festival without Christian roots. It is a celebration of Davao’s 11 lumad tribes and the bountiful harvest that the region receives every year. It highlights the melting pot of cultures that make Davao a vibrant, booming, interesting region.

This year, SMART renewed its commitment to the growth of Davao’s tourism and development via their support of the Kadayawan Festival. First in the #SMARTKadayawan line up of events is the Opening Ceremonies of Kadayawan Festival. The leaders of the 11 tribes of Davao opened the festivities.
