Every year, Vigan celebrates the Kannawidan Festival usually, from the last week of January until the first week of February. Through this festival, Ilocos food, arts, trade, crafts, and products are being highlighted. And also in this festival, the cultures and traditions of Ilocos are preserved for the coming generations.
The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival had already established its identity as the prime festival of the province. The festival was launched in 2008 under the leadership of then Governor Deogracias Victor B. Savellano to commemorate the 190th foundation day of Ilocos Sur as separate province through the approval of a Spanish Royal Decree on February 2, 1818.
This festival, for me, is worth watching for ‘cause it makes me very proud to be an Ylocano.
