Dabawenyos celebrate this festival as a thanksgiving for the gifts of nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties of harvest and serenity of living. It is, therefore, a celebration of life.
This year, the Kadayawan Festival will probably fall on the 3rd week of August, as it usually does. The festival this year will definitely be extra special for it will happen at the same time of the Eid’l Fitr, a Muslim feast that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadhan.
