Northern Luzon is housing the province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage. To show and share the treasures of the province to the world, locals conceived a festival that highlights these cultural traditions and call it "Kannawidan Festival", the festive celebration of Ilocos Sur.
Kannawidan is an ilocano term that means "feast of rich heritage and culture". The celebration of the festival is not only to showcase the Ilocano culture but it also marks the separation of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte.
Various festivities were staged from trade, agriculture, aqua, livestock while a display of farm products. All of the municipalities are setting up booth to display their own One-Town-One-Product. As the festival talks about the culture and traditions of the Ilokanos, culinary treats are also prepared in which residents prepare delicacies in which the province is known for.
The traditional opening, display the identity proofs that there is a culture that we have form through the years, and we'll continue the journey towards future, having the heritage of the province as our identity.
