Pasko Fiesta 2023, an annual event in Davao, is set to improve the spectator experience with various changes implemented by event organizer Harold Quibete. In a media forum, Quibete revealed that they have opted for a smaller stage to balance the need for space and accommodate VIPs.

Registration is ongoing with tier 1 already sold out, with only few slots remaining for tier 2.
