KANNAWIDAN

     The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival 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
     The province of Ilocos Sur has recently celebrated its Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. It year marks the province’s 193rd year based on the Royal Decree dated February 2, 1818 separating Ilocos Sur from Ilocos Norte. Prior to this date, the stretch of Bangui in Ilocos Norte down to Luna La Union is called Ylocos which is a term to refer to the coastal inhabitants. It literally meant “from the lowlands”.
      Celebrating the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is a good way of remembering our history. With this Festival, many people will know the history and whats inside the region of Ilocos sur.
