Kannawidan Festival
“Gagayyem ken kakabsat agkaykaysa tayo ta intay selebraran ti kannawidan”
Another Ylocos festival was again celebrated by Ilokanos. Festival that every citizen can be proud of. Celebration that bring back the old traditions of Region I from north to south and east to west. This event displays the native products of each town or known as One Town, One Product.
This year Kannawidan festival started last January 31, 2011 with a procession asking God to make this significant event very successful. Before the procession a mass was attended by the Provincial Capitol Officials and the Vice Governor of Ilocos Sur, Mr. Deograsias Victor Savellano after which a firework display lightened up the sky as the crown was saying “wow”. For the nexdt nights some celebrities came and entertained the Ilokanos. The main event of the festival was done February 5’s eve, “Saniata ti Ylokos”.
This is very significant, we must celebrate our own festival in addition to that we must endorse and proud of it.
