Kannawidan Festival


                Kannawidan is a local term for traditional practices, Kannawidan is normally mistaken to be the day when Ilocos Sur was separated from Ilocos Norte.

                As of now, it has become an occasion where the people strengthen the Ilocano Culture, the time when Ilocos Sur recognizes the sons and daughters that have brought honor to the province. Just to celebrate the Ilocano spirit that continues to burn in the heart of many and the way that we attract so many tourists.

                Every year, there are various activities that people engage in to feel the warm welcome of the said event. The kinds of activities that are carving your talent in the field of arts, music, dance, drama and other spectacular talents. As understood, the event lasts for a week or so. This year, it started at January 30, 2014 but I think it will tentatively end on February 05, 2014, depending on the situation.

                At the case of being an Ilocano, I really think that this event is a great time for the Ilocanos to gather and bond with each other. A rare moment in every year where all the people of Vigan and some people in Ilocos Sur are willing to celebrate.

                Not all are pleased but still, I appreciate how much effort the people in Ilocos Sur have given just to make every year as unique as can be.            

                A FESTIVITY OF LOVE TO YOUR OWN LAND!
