Kannawidan: A part of us

     Kannawidan is an annual festivity conducted during the month of February in our province Ilocos Sur. it is an occasion that showcases culture, products,  fashion and talents of Ilocanos among the different towns of Ilocos Sur. Last year (2018), we just celebrated Kannawidan Bicentennial because it hass been 200 yearsn since we started celebrating this event.

     Kannawidan is one of the most awaited events in the province besides those of other festivals in towns. there are events that have been done every year and they are as follows: beach volleyball, mass, procession, boodle fight, exhibits, education day, miss saniata, siglat iskwela awards, agricultural contests, float parade, training, zarzuela, quizzes and other competitions, traditional games, street dancing, and showdown and other special events. Different artists are also  invited to be the hosts, guests and bands to sing or dance or to have mini concerts  enjoyed by viewers. There's food court to visit and be captivated with different Ilocano products such as suka, balikutya, abel, damili, wooden furnitures, empanada, bagmet bibingka and other delicacies.

    

 Kannawidan is opened for fun and some objectives making tourists to be engaged and join us also in the celebration. It is just another tradition by Ilocanos in which they are proud of. without celebrating and attending activities, our year will not be completed.
