KANNAWIDAN FESTIVALThe province of Ilocos Sur has recently celebrated its Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. This 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”.
We ca see in the kannawidan festival the different otops of different municipalities in Ilocos Sur and there is also the other products that they sell. It's an honor for me to witness the opening of the Kannawidan festival here in Ilocos Sur because in the opening we can see the people in Ilocos Sur that going just to witness the opening of the biggest festival in Ilocos Sur. Also, The day that the festival starts lets say that the other day will be interesting as we didn't expect. There are a lot of games that they made for us to enjoy the festival and also at night there are some artists coming just to entertain us. There are also people from other province who are coming here in Ilocos just to watch and also to participate in the different contest that they have.
Kannawidan Festival is one of the happiest festival that I thought. I am proud to be a Ilocano because of it's beauty.
