Kannawidan
Ilocos
Sur is a beautiful province located in the northern part of Luzon. It is a
province rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino
heritage. To show and share their treasures to the whole world, the locals
conceived a festival that highlights these cultural traditions and they called
it the “Kannadiwan Festival”.
They
call it the KANNAWIDAN Ylocos Festival, it is also a time to
commemorate the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province since it was separated
on February 3, 1818. Kannawidan is a variant of the Ilocano word
"tawid" meaning heritage or inheritance.
This
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.
