ILOCOS SUR FESTIVAL 

"The pride of our culture and tradition with treasure where the past and the future collide"

    An annual event in Ilocos Sur, the Kannawidan Festival highlights the rich cultural legacy of Ilocano people by showcasing history, arts, cuisine, and way of life. 

    The name "kawanawidan" is derived from the word "tawid," which in English means "tradition, legacy, and heritage." Founded in 2008, it highlights regional products, encourages people to learn about and appreciate local culture, traditions, and customs, and grows the tourism industry. In addition, this event commemorated the separation of Provincia Ilocos into Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur and eventually created Abra and La Union.

    The Ilocos Sur Festival holds great significance in the development of our province's economy by attracting foreign visitors and providing support to small businesses. This improves the local economy and contributes money for the community's general well-being by improving infrastructure, healthcare, education, and other essential services.

    Moreover, the Ilocos Sur Festival is an important occasion in Ilocos Sur that promotes and preserves the cultural heritage of the region. Traditional dances, cultural performances, delicious cuisine, drone light and dancing fountain shows, fireworks, pet exhibits, and contests are just a few of the events that the Ilocos Sur Festival is known for. In addition, there are street dancing, festival dance competitions, talent shows, displays, athletic events, and other enjoyable events, putting our province on the map as a must-visit destination. 

    Overall, the Ilocos Sur Festival contributes significantly to the development of our province by promoting cultural preservation, tourism, economic growth, and unity among people. The Ilocos Sur Festival will surely be crucial in determining how Ilocos Sur develops in the future and guaranteeing the province's prosperity and cultural diversity.
