The beautiful province of Ilocos Sur is located in the northern part of Luzon. It is rich in culture that represents the ancient Spanish and Filipino heritage.
Kannawidan festival is celebrated on the last week of January up to the first week of February. It commemorates the foundation day of the province. It is celebrated to show and share the treasure and cultural traditions to the whole world. The old and the new in Ilocano culture are both featured in this year’s Kannawidan.
The festival offers activities to show how part of the culture of the people of Ilocos Sur has modified through the years. The Kannawidan festival was also an occasion to strengthen the Ilocano culture, recognize Ilocos Sur’s sons and daughters who brought honor to the province, celebrate abundant harvest or just to celebrate the Ilocano spirit that continues to drive locals to boost the province.
