KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL

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 Fili 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 “KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL”. 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.

The responders strongly believe that the kannawidan Festival is rich in culture and has a sense of identity among all Ilocanos committed to ensure the conversion, prevention, and promotion of the Iloco cultural, artistic, historical and intellectual heritage. This celebration is important to each occupant in the region as they are praising the establishment of Ilocos Sur as a territory by uprightness of the Royal Decree endorsed on February 2, 1818.

Numerous exiting activities and shows will be featured during the span of the festival.
