Once again Davao City will be celebrating 76th ARAW NG DABAW 2013. A month-long celebration that expected to have thousands of guests, visitors, tourists, transients, and travelers.

Araw ng Dabaw, which literally means "Davao Day," is a week-long celebration of the founding of the city with trade fairs, colorful socio-civic and parades along the main streets of the city, cultural presentations of the various ethnic tribes in Davao City, sports competitions, and fireworks display. The highlight of the event is the selection of the "Mutya ng Dabaw," from the most beautiful ladies in the city.
