Davao City is fantastic. There’s something about the neon lighting, the sound of grilled fish or barbecues, the plethora of cheap clothes, and the strong whiff of fried food that makes you feel alive. But here’s the thing: There are always night markets, everywhere. Davao is home to one of the Philippines’ most famous night markets, but it’s not the only one.
The city’s best-kept secret
If you’re visiting Davao for the first time, chances are you might miss the one at Roxas Avenue. It is convincing to pass by it. But it would be best if you stopped by because here’s why: Being the only night market in Davao City is the city’s best-kept secret, where you can find those everything-you-need-for-a-night-out: from merchandise to barbecue stands. There was also a market with clothes, shoes, accessories, gifts/souvenirs, and an outdoor massage area.

What’s the difference between Davao’s night market and the others?
Here’s my shortlist of what makes the place so unique: Davao’s night market is less chaotic and noisy than most other night markets. The market is small and less crowded. It is full of junk than most other night markets. It is the perfect spot to meet with friends. Davao’s night market is home to the yummiest dirty ice cream or charcoal ice cream. My favorite part about the market is that the vendors are already set up, which means an array of seafood is well-organized for you to choose from those stores. Food stalls, cheap finds, and Davao’s tastiest delicacies are in one place.
