The beauty I locos Sur’s abundant culture and traditions
A festival in the Province of
Ilocos Sur commemorating the separation of the two Ilocos provinces in
1818.
Kannawidan Ylocos
festival is the commemoration of the foundation of the province of Ilocos Sur.
It is a celebration that lasts from the last week of January and ends on the
first week of February.
It is the Ilocanos’
way of giving thanks to the Almighty not only for the bountiful blessings but
also for the rich heritage of the province, including the close family ties
among the Ilocanos.
It is my first going to kannawidan after the corona virus.
With your loved ones, you can enjoy the exciting showcase performances and
enjoy shopping and eating delicious
foods in kannawidan .This festival is a showcase of indigenous performances,
religious rituals, as well cooking demos featuring the best of Ilocano dishes.
The festival pays more attention on Ilocano children. It is because Ilocano
culture are not recognized by the younger generations of the province. But
instead, there is more on modern dances. With this kind of endeavor, Ilocano
children may appreciate their rich culture and tradition. That is why this
Festival is conducted.
This year, there are different contests that focus to the
ability and skills of the students which include traditional tribal rituals,
choir, traditional and folk dances. The Kannawidan I locos Festival encourages
the younger generations to learn the indigenous songs and dances of the
province of I locos Sur. You should come and be amazed by the culture of I locos
Sur.
