The 39th Kadayawan Festival in Davao del Sur concluded with energetic performances at the Indak-Indak sa Kadayawan showdown and party on August 18.
The festival is held every August to give thanks for a bountiful harvest and celebrate the indigenous traditions of Mindanao.
The month-long celebration kicked off with a large puzzle board completed by the 11 tribal deputy mayors.
Each piece created a visual metaphor representing the intricate, colorful patterns of each tribe, illustrating the harmonious coexistence in the city.
The festival also featured the Pananam sa Kadayawan, a food and products fair; the Gwapa Dabawenya, an all-women fun run; the IronKids Duathlon, and the Ironman 70.3 triathlon.
Magsaysay Park was filled by the city’s harvest crops for the Agri-Fair, which will run until August 31.
