Kannawidan: Ylocos Festival

Ilocos Sur is known to be one of the provinces which generate distinct kinds of products. With these products, one town is identified with the other towns. Through the uniqueness of each entity, one is unusual and immense as the other. And when these products unite together, it creates a striking image on the oneness of the area.

And this year is already the 4th Kannawidan Festival of Ilocos Sur. It usually starts on every 31st day of January and ends in the 6th day of February. With this manner of festival, products in every town pile up and present them in a way that people will take delight in looking at them. These products are been exhibited in Vigan City and whoever wants to buy that item can have it. Residents from the nearby municipalities visit the display area and can explore the whole Ilocos Sur by merely sighting those products presented there. And on the actual day, different parlor games are been played and all townspeople can join with it. Also foreign people visit and they adore this festival.

This was the splendid Kannawidan Festival. A true depiction in which it symbolizes the progress of Ilocos Sur for its different products it produces. This is one of our well-off so we better take pride of it.
