The City Government of Davao has recently launched the virtual Davao Pasko Fiesta dubbed as DAVAO PASKOnline FIESTA 2021.
The Pasko Fiesta is a yearly event of the city in partnership with the private sector as a means of celebrating the Filipino tradition during the holiday season.
During the pre-pandemic, the Pasko Fiesta was highlighted by the thematic Christmas display at the City Hall and Rizal Park, free concerts, gift-giving, Christmas fairs, torotot New Year’s celebration among many face-to-face events.
The COVID-19 pandemic gave way to a re-conceptualized Davao Pasko Fiesta where events will be held online.
Subdued yet meaningful activities will be held during this year’s Davao Pasko Fiesta which will be shown on social media (Davao Pasko Fiesta Facebook page).
These activities consist of online contests, Christmas-related DIY workshops, concerts, caroling, inspiring reality series, Christmas film festival, Simbang Gabi and weekend market.
Much of the activities is centered on the Dabawenyo family celebrating a meaningful and hopeful Christmas. This year’s Pasko Fiesta carries the theme “Buong Pamilya, Sama-samang Magsasaya, Puno ng Pag-ibig at Pagasa!” (The whole family, celebrating together filled with love and hope)
