“Kannawidan”
Different people, different places and
different events happens every year in our country. And one of these is the
celebration of various festivals.
As for us Ilocano’s, particularly here
in Ilocos Sur, we usually celebrate “Kannawidan” which literaly means “culture
of tradition” in Ilocano. It is a whole week celebration that took place at the
Quirino Stadium here in Vigan City. It is the event to bring out the best
amongst Ilocano’s, it’s culture and traditions, native crafts, products, and
delicacies. It is a good opportunity specially for Ilocano traders to introduce some of their products and a
possible business to other locals.
Various events includes sports fest,
raffle draws, and entertainment where different bands and celebrities performs
every night.
But the most awaited and sought after
event is the coronation of Ilocana beauties known as “Ms. Saniata”. Each
municipalities has their own representative for the beauty pageant. It is also a great opportunity for us
Ilocano’s to recognize and appreciate fellow Iloco Surians who did great
achievement in different fields here in our country and abroad.
Festivals are not just for fun and
entertainment, it is also intended to educate other people especially the young
ones on how the Ilocano treasure it’s values and traditions. Our beautiful
places and our awesome hospitality and friendliness.
