KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL


If you are a Ilocano. You will be very familiar with this celebration. Kannawidan is a festivity which the city of Vigan celebrates every year. in this festival, the Ilocanos showcase cutural shows, native products, and talents of Ilocano people.


In this celebration in the month of February, we witnessed the extravagant and spectacular culture and tradition of fellow Ilocanos have and to be proud of. For the people of Ilocos Sur, this is not just a festival, hence, this is learning and experiencing different tastes of cuisines,cultures, traditions and some exhibits of the fellow Ilocanos as well. One of this is the OTOP of the "One Town, One Product". Because each municipality of Ilocos Sur have their own products showcasing their traditions and their municipality. For tourists, they can see or buy those beautiful and enjoyable OTOP and exhibits, it is learning what Ilocanos have and create Market of beauty, tradition, food and creativity of fellow Ilocanos.


        Kannawidan Festival was established and launched in 2008 by the former Governor, DV Savellano , in celebrating and honor to the separation of the Province through the approve of Spanis Royal. And I think that this festival aims to preserve every province's rich cultural heritages, practice and most of all , the traditionds. So mark your calendars next year or the other years to come that February is the Kannawidan Festival.
