Kadayawan Fiesta
While the hotel’s
strategic location at the heart of city’s vibrant downtown district makes it an
ideal base for sightseeing and witnessing the city’s famed street dancing and
floral float parades, you may opt to check out the Kadayawan Fiesta at Apo View
Hotel, a much-anticipated annual showcase of the best of Kadayawan right at the
hotel.
From August 5 to 18, the
hotel’s main lobby will feature a Floral and Fruit Exhibit to pay tribute to
the season’s bountiful harvest. The hotel’s main lobby becomes even more abuzz
on August 12 to 18 with exhibits and demonstrations that promote Davao’s unique
brand of artistry, such as the dagmay
weaving demonstration by the women of the Mandaya tribe, an art exhibit
featuring the works of acclaimed Tiboli artist, Ronald Tamfalan, as well as
tattooing and jewelry-making demonstrations by local artist, Nazancino Laping,
Jr.
On August 12 to 18, the Entrée
hallway will feature a photo exhibit by the Davao Photographers for Peace
entitled Hulagway sa Kadayawan (Images
of Kadayawan), as well as the Parade of Mannequins, which flaunts
ethnic-inspired creations of celebrated local fashion designer, Juliet
Pamintuan.
The highlight of the
Kadayawan Fiesta is the Kaagan Theater Group’s cultural performances, which showcase
the music and ritual dances of Davao’s ethnic tribes. The hour-long show
happens at the Lobby and the Entrée Hallway at 12:00 noon and at 6:00 PM daily
from August 12 to 18.
Of course no fiesta would
be complete without shopping! The Kadayawan Fiesta Bazaar at the Lobby and
Sales Foyer is not to be missed. Local goods, fresh fruits and delectable
delicacies are on display from August 12 to 18 so guests can conveniently shop
to their heart’s content.
Kadayawan Food
Festival
Taking advantage of the abundance of fresh
produce, the hotel will be whipping up a culinary feast of the best local
cuisine for their Kadayawan Food Festival. This runs from August 14 to 18 at
Entrée and Café Josefina.
Savor an extensive buffet
spread of popular Davao dishes at Entrée, where local fruits, crisp salads, artisan
cheeses, and fresh seafood take center stage. Enjoy your meal with the Entrée
Wine Quartet, a set of four small glasses of different wines, to accentuate the
flavors of your meal.
Café Josefina, the
hotel’s lobby café, will be serving a classic Filipino merienda buffet, which includes comfort food and popular native
delicacies that will surely fill your tummies and warm your hearts.
Razorback at Blue
Room
August is also an
exciting time for Blue Room, the hotel’s newly renovated bar. After the recent
launching of Prohibition Saturdays, the bar’s weekly soiree featuring the
city’s best indie acts and guest DJs, Blue Room once again makes waves with the
Razorback gig slated on August 17.
Razorback is one of the
country’s most solid and respected rock bands and will be flying to Davao to
play exclusively at Blue Room. A cover charge of P250 gets you in and includes
one free beer.

place to enjoy Kadayawan than at Apo View Hotel. Recently celebrating 65 years
