Kadayawan sa Dabaw Festival 2012 - Indak Indak sa Kadalanan

I was a bit disappointed to last year's Indak Indak sa Kadalanan because the participants were no longer performing some of their routines on the street. Most of them were either walking or running. I guess maybe the plan was not to tire out the participants which were mostly kids and have them perform at San Pedro Street (in front of city hall) when the competition is already judged. Well I guess this was nice, but to those spectators who don't want to exert too much energy trying to find a spot to watch the contestant perform near the City Hall (believe me its very crowded on that place) would rather see the contestant show of some of their dances on the street (me in particular).

But this year well they went back to what Indak Indak sa Kadalanan was about, contestant dancing on the streets, and spectators where in such a delight seeing those participants perform all out on the streets.

Pretty Davaoeñas at Kadayawan sa Dabaw Festival 2012

Last Saturday and Sunday was the Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2012, Indak Indak sa Kadalanan and the Pamulak Kadayawan. There was plenty of nice floats that participated, and some nice dancing from various schools too. There were also pretty celebrities that participated during the Pamulak Kadayawan, but the beautiful Davaoeñas that participated during the event were eye catchers also. Below are some photos of pretty Davaoeñas that participated during the Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2012.

Remembering Kadayawan 2010

Kadayawan 2010 was a huge successful event. It culminated with the floral float parade. In the parade you can see floats decorated with fruits, orchids and other flowers of different varieties. Here are photos of beautiful floats during the Kadayawan festival.

Happy weekend everyone!

The month of August is one of the most awaited months for Davaoeños. It is the month for the Kadayawan festival- a celebration for the blessings and good harvest.
