Kadayawan – Part 1
(This is an event I went to back at the end of August. Being that now it is October break at school I have some time to finally post about this fun event. I think I will include this in a couple posts since there will be lots of pictures. Hopefully I’ll get more pictures up on Facebook during this week off as well.) I hope you enjoy!
Kadayawan is a festival here in Davao celebrating the tribes on Mindanao.
I went to a street dancing parade on August 18 and a floral float parade on August 19. Here are some of the pictures!

There were dancers of many ages.

It was a hot and sunny day.
Stay tuned for my second post with pictures of the floral float parade.
