Peak season for tourism in Davao usually falls between March and May.

However, this also means more visitors and potentially higher prices for flights and accommodation, so booking in advance is a good idea.

While this month falls within the wetter season, the festival is a highlight, showcasing the region's rich culture with street dancing, parades, and floral floats.

If you prefer to avoid the busiest crowds and don't mind occasional short showers, the shoulder months of November and early December can also be a good option.
