Kannawidan became one of the most awaited annual celebrations in the province and consequently improves Ilocano culture. Its vision is: An esteemed and respected cultural foundation of Ilocanos who hold a deep respect for our heritage, instilling pride and sense of identity among all Ilocanos committed to ensure the conversion, preservation, and promotion of the Iloco cultural, artistic, historical and intellectual heritage.
It has
developed different activities to showcase the richness of Ilocos Sur culture
and heritage. It is a celebration that lasts from the last
week of January up to the first week of February. Included in the course of
events is the commemoration of the foundation day of the province.
This year, residents of the
province of Ilocos Sur have a simpler celebration of the annual Kannawidan
Ylocos Festival. The provincial government has announces strict guidelines
to be followed during the festival. Usually, the festival is being celebrated
for at least a month, but this year it only lasted for a week.
The festival opened with the ribbon cutting
of the Trade and Food Fair at the Kannawidan Grounds in barangay Tamag where
the one-town-one-product of the towns and cities of the province are displayed,
held in the Heritage City of Vigan. Then it was followed by the Holy Mass
concelebrated at Saint Paul Cathedral in this city led by government workers
from national and local offices, public officials and members of
non-government-organizations. Pageant was also done but it is a lockdown
pageant where no audience is allowed, aside from the judges and the production
team.
