Hi Heita, Thanks for visiting Davao and joining the Kadayawan Festival. By the way, Kadayawan is not a religious festival unlike the one in Sinulog (paying tribute to Sto. Nino of Catholic Church), but it's more a cultural festival that celebrates the bountiful harvest and unity, honoring the icons of Davao namely Mt. Apo (tallest mountain in the country), Durian (king of fruits), Philippine Eagle (largest eagle native to PH & Davao/Mindanao particularly and also the national bird) and Waling Waling (queen of orchids, native orchids only found in Davao area). The festival also pays tribute to the 11 original native tribes living in the city. That's why you will see a lot of variation of dance, music and clothing because each native have their own culture, tradition and even languages. It's the best month to visit Davao as well since that''s the season of harvest of many fruits where you can buy many and cheaply. Davao is the fruit basket capital of the Philippines, it's the main producer of Durian, Mangosteen, Banana, Marang, Rambutan and many more, in which Davao also as top exporter of these fruits and even sell them to other cities & provinces like Manila, Cebu. I say this festival is much more inclusive since this transcends religion and culture. I recommend you to visit the traditional houses during Kadayawan in Magsaysay Park and eat many fruits in any public markets. Hopefully, you can visit again.
