Kadayawan 2026
As we prepare for Kadayawan Festival 2026, the traditional houses representing our 11 cultural communities of Davao City are undergoing renovations, ready to welcome everyone to a celebration of culture, unity, and thanksgiving. These cultural spaces stand as a reminder of our roots and the rich identity that makes Kadayawan a celebration like no other.
The Kadayawan sa Davao is an annual celebration honoring the 11 indigenous cultural communities of Davao City. Each community is represented by a traditional cultural house — a living symbol of their heritage, customs, and deep connection to the land.
As the 2026 celebration draws near, these cultural houses are being lovingly restored and prepared, inviting everyone to witness, learn from, and celebrate the diversity that makes Davao City truly one-of-a-kind.
Take a peek at the cultural houses being prepared for Kadayawan 2026 — each one a proud reflection of our indigenous communities’ heritage and artistry.
