The festival at the end of January celebrates the best of Ilocos Sur culture, from traditional dress and folk dance to tribal rituals and marching band contests.
KANNAWIDAN is an Ilocano term which means "a feast of all heritages, practices and products" in Ilocos Sur. The celebration formulates various activities wherein it's main thrust is tourism promotion through the presentation of talents, native costumes, traditions, culture and products that is definitely Ilocos Sur. It aims to develop the province into an economically- strengthened community and to in still pride it's citizenry with their very rich heritage.
This Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products.
Let us all preserve these cultures for next generation and this will serve as our trademark as an Ilokano.
