Kannawidan Festival

 


  Kannawidan is a festivity which the City of Vigan celebrates every year. In this festival, the Ilocano people showcase cultural shows, native products and the talents of the Ilocanos.

      Residents of the province of Ilocos Sur have a simpler celebration of the annual Kannawidan Ylocos Festival this year 2021, due to Covid-19 that happening this year. Unlike the previous years when the Kannawidan Festival is being celebrated for at least a month, this year, it will only run for a week starting Friday, January 29 until February 5.

        I hope that this Covid-19 will end soon, so that we can celebrate Ylocos Kannawidan Festival next year.
