that we Ilocanos must be proud of. In order to showcase these, we have
important festives just to exhibit and promote products of ours and precious
cultures of Ilocanos to attract and invite tourists to come and visit Ilocos.
One of these is the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival which is a week-long festive of
happiness for local and foreign tourists as more entertaining events are
included in the celebration.
Kannawidan is a festivity which the City of Vigan celebrates
every year. In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows,
native products and the talents of the Ilocanos.Kannawidan Ylocos Festival became an annual festival that
aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province' rich cultural heritage,
practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and
industry products of the province.There is a need to preserve our rich heritage
and unique culture. With this in mind, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur
has conceived a festival that highlights these culture and traditions and
attract local and foreign tourists as well. Dubbed the Kannawidan Ylocos
Festival, it is also a commemoration of the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a
province.
