    Kadayawan Festival

    The Kadayawan Festival is an annual festival in the city of Davao in


    the Philippines. The festival is a celebration of life, a thanksgiving for the gifts
    of nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties of harvest and serenity of living.
    The festival was previously known as Apo Duwaling Festival, named after
    three icons of Davao; Mount Apo, durian, and the waling-waling orchid.
    Previously, this festival was held in the third week of August every year which
    was highlighting the 11 tribes of Davao City. In 2019, the celebration was
    extended and held from 2 to 31 August. In 2020, Kadayawan Festival was
    celebrated from 10 to 17 August. One of the highlights of the Kadayawan
    Festival is the Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan, which translates to street dancing.
    This is a showcase of the diverse indigenous cultures of the region. The
    festivities feature different communities in Mindanao dancing in vibrant
    costumes that highlight their indigenous heritage.

    Dinagyang Festival

    The Dinagyang Festival is a religious


    and cultural festival in Iloilo City, Philippines,
    held annually on the fourth Sunday of January in
    honor of Santo Niño, the Holy Child. It is one of
    the largest festivals in the Philippines, drawing
    hundreds of thousands to over a million visitors
    every year.
    The festival is well-known for its Ati Tribes Competition, featuring
    various tribu or tribe performers in Ati warrior costumes, presenting traditional
    choreographed formations, patterns, and rhythmic chanting to the beat of loud
    drums and improvised percussion instruments, that narrate different iterations
    of the history of Panay. Another highlight is the Kasadyahan Festival, where
    different cultural festivals from various places in Western Visayas come
    together to compete.

    As the most awarded festival in the country and having been named the best tourism event by the
    Association of Tourism Officers in the Philippines (ATOP) for many years, the festival is often hailed as the
    "Queen of All Philippine Festivals."

    The festival is considered to be the biggest festival in the Philippines, with
    every celebration of the festival routinely attracting between 1 million and 1.5
    million people each year. Aside from the religious aspect of the festival,
    Sinulog is also famous for its street parties, usually happening the night before
    and the night of the main festival. The festival is nicknamed the "Grandest
    Festival in the Philippines."
