kannawidan

“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.
