The streets of Davao come alive with music, color, and joyous celebrations for the Kadayawan every August. Thanks to foodpanda, many Davaoeños discovered a new way to celebrate this year: savoring the best local flavors in the city delivered right to their doorstep.

 

Kadayawan, the city’s biggest harvest festival, is a time to celebrate rich culture, abundance, and of course, food. Local cuisines reflect tradition and heritage, making them an essential pert of the festivities. For some, the celebration means going out to watch tribal sports, street dances, and celebrity-studded floats; for others, it’s about slowing down and savoring the long weekend with family, friends, and homegrown dishes.

 

With a wide variety of local food establishments available on the app, Davaoños truly got the best of both worlds. They were able to celebrate in comfort while still indulging in authentic flavors from local favorites. Here are just some of the Kadayawan must-haves that reached homes this season through foodpanda:
