The city of Vigan holds a celebration every year called Kannawidan. The main goal of this festival is to give Ilocanos something to look forward to and to raise awareness among locals and tourists about the need to preserve our tradition, heritage, and distinctive culture. At this festival, Ilocanos also showcase their cultural performances, local goods, and skills. With the aim of promoting the preservation of the province's rich cultural history, practices, and traditions as well as showcasing the region's diverse agricultural and industrial products, Kannawidan Ylocos Festival has developed into an annual occasion. The street market at this festival allows the Ilocanos a chance to display their One Town One Product, showcasing their cultural traditions and, most importantly, their talents.
I'm proud to represent and share the traditions, cultures, and festivals that make Ilocanos unique as residents of Ilocus Sur and reflect the things we cherish most about our community and home. I am proud to share with everyone inside and outside the country what we have and what we are celebrating, and to affirm that every Ilocano is eager to get things done.
I'm happy to be an Ilocano because of many to important reasons that all of as know it. In order for future generations to continue to view and appreciate the beauty of our province, Ilocos Sur, we should embrace and cherish our culture. The Kannawidan Festival is a very fun, interesting and one of the most enjoyable and important featival of Ilocos Sur, a place where there is so much to do, so much to see, so much to taste, so much to hear, and so much to visit a captivating region of Ilocos Sur.
