As the Kadayawan Festival sweeps across Davao City, a vibrant and culturally-rich celebration awaits those who are planning a visit to the durian capital of the Philippines.

An annual celebration that graces every third week of August, The Kadayawan Festival is where residents express gratitude for nature's gifts, diversity of cultures, and bountiful harvest.

With the Kadayawan Festival in full swing, SM Lanang and SM City Davao offer an array of diverse experiences for both residents and tourists.

A tribute to indigenous heritage

From August 20 to 25, the festival takes a spotlight on the beauty of Inabel weaving as it comes to life through the works of esteemed Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan, Magdalena Gamayo. In collaboration with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, watch her creations transform into fashion pieces by local designers.
