Ilocos Sur is a beautiful province located in the northern part of Luzon. It is a province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino Heritage. To show Ilacano culture and treasures to the world, they conceived a festival that highlights beautiful culture and they called it the "Kannawidan Festival"
We, Ilocanos are now in the eleventh chapter of celebrating Kannawidan Festival. A week long celebration that showcase Ilocano culture, traditions, cuisines and also events that people would surely enjoy.
During the month of January Ilocanos are busy preparing for the opening of Kannawidan fest. Schools in Ilocos Sur had a big part in this festival. Students practices for competitions showing the culture and traditions of Vigan. They let visitors and tourists showcase how Vigan was before. They portray every Ilocano, what's their role in the past and also today. The government of Ilocos Sur also gives a very big support for this said festival. Kannawidan shows how Ilocanos are very down to earth and a very friendly people.
Ilocanos are also God-fearing people because the festival is started by a mass for patron saints. At night, people gathered at Tamag grounds to see their favorite artists and guests. Artists joins Ilocanos celebrate by showing their talents and Ilocanos are happy to showcase it.
The old and the new in Ilocano culture are both featured in this year’s Kannawidan Ylocos Festival - the festival of Ilocos Sur that celebrates its being a separate province and its being a treasure chest of traditions and culture
