We all know that KANNAWIDAN FESTIVAL is one of the most popular event here in Vigan. People are so much excited when we talk about this event because there are so many activities that are conducted. In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocano's.
There was the tribal performance of the cultural communities of Ilocos Sur which is so fascinating. They displayed their talents as well as their indigenous costumes.Traditional games were played and bingo as well. There were Sarsuela and Komedya Ilocana which were shown.Showcasing the beauty of the Iloconas- the Saniata. We must be proud of being an Ilocano.Celebrating feasts and festivals is a part of our culture and tradition as a Filipino. We have so many different festivals around the country, on each region wherein various things were featured and experienced. Most festivals in the Philippines are religious in origin, but nowadays the religious component is usually secondary to the general spirit of celebration. Filipino hospitality is legendary and at no time, it is more in evidence than at festival time.There is really a need to revive and rekindle the spirit of the Ilocano. There is a need to initiate programs to make Ilocano aware of their customs and traditions, to pave the way in preserving them; and thus, preserve the distinctions of our culture. These are the reasons behind the conceptualization of the "Kannawidan Ylocos Festival". This became an annual festival that 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.It was a fun-filled week of celebration of the Kannawidan Festival in Ilocos Sur.
