The 22 towns of the province marked the festivity. The festivity that features the heritage culture of the province which dates back two centuries ago. Kannawidan is an Ilocano term meaning feast of rich heritage and culture. Ilocos Sur is a province that has a very rich culture and heritage. Kannawidan means traditions and this province got to showcase all what she has. They displayed their talents as well as their indigenous costumes.
To show how aspects of the culture of the people of Ilocos Sur have evolved through the years, the festival offers these activities to the new generation: dance craze, battle of the bands, Mr. Kannawidan muscle showdown, Search for Saniata, car and motorcycle show, horse racing, chef wars, rodeo fiesta, game fowl and pigeon expo, rhythm festival, 3rd Gov Ryan Singson Motocross Cup, Kannawidan Mini Fwd Race, karambola, and drag race, and street dancing and showdown that show off the one-town-one-products (OTOP) of the 34 towns and cities of the province. It is presented by world-class performers showcasing the Beauty of the Ilocos Sur through dances, music, and sounds. Spectators are clapping with joy because of their great performances, graceful movements, and excellent rendition of songs while playing native musical instruments.
As a proud Ilokano, I am expecting more fun activities for the coming years. This Kannawidan 2019 celebration brought happiness to Ilokanos. Being an Ilokano is surely to be proud of. It was a fun-filled weeks of celebration of the Kannawidan Festival in Ilocos Sur.
