"The Kannawidan Festival"
We have already know that after the
Longganisa Festival of the Vigan City Fiesta in January is next to it is the
Ilocos Sur Fiesta or what we called the " Kannawidan Festival".
In this celebration in the month of
February, we witnessed the extravagant and spectacular culture and tradition of
fellow Ilocanos have and to be proud of. For the people of Ilocos Sur, this is
not just a festival, hence, this is learning and experiencing different tastes
of cuisines,cultures, traditions and some exhibits of the fellow Ilocanos as
well. One of this is the OTOP of the "One Town, One Product". Because
each municipality of Ilocos Sur have their own products showcasing their
traditions and their municipality. For tourists, they can see or buy those
beautiful and enjoyable OTOP and exhibits, it is learning what Ilocanos have
and create Market of beauty, tradition, food and creativity of fellow Ilocanos.
Kannawidan Festival was established and
launched in 2008 by the former Governor, DV Savellano , in celebrating and
honor to the separation of the Province through the approve of Spanis Royal.
And I think that this festival aims to preserve every province's rich cultural
heritages, practice and most of all , the traditionds. So mark your calendars
next year or the other years to come that February is the Kannawidan Festival.
"Naimbag nga aldaw kanyam, sika nga mangbasbasbasa"...
