KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL AMIDST PANDEMIC


Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture that are to be preserved for the next generations because it is observed that many of these traditions,song,dances and other Ilocano culture are not familiar to the younger generations already.Because of this,the provincial government of Ilocos Sur concerned a festival that will highlight these culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourists as well. They call it the KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL,it is also a time to commemorate the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province since it was seperated on February 3, 1818.

Kannawidan is a variant of Ilocano word “tawid” meaning heritage or inheritance .Kannawidan also conducts major activities and events for community participation. Became one of the most awaited annual celebrations in the province of Ilocos Sur is doing its ultimate capabilities to give the best,most  especially to the visitors and exhibitors.

Last 2 years, Kannawidan Festival was very fun.Me and My family went there and spend our time enjoying how beautiful Kannawidan is. We played and eat together .But this year,Kannawidan Festival is not the same as last year because of this pandemic that we are facing. Many fun activities, events and more that we’ve missed because of the pandemic.This year, I didn’t go to Kannawidan with my family. I’m still happy because they post a live video about the  Saniata ti Ylocos  .Saniata ti Ylocos Is one of the favourite event of my mother, she do really love watching pageants,thanks to the people that post them social media because we have chance to watched the  Saniata ti Ylocos even though we are experiencing this covid pandemic. Me and my siblings  miss going to the circus,playing and riding fun activities.we do really love playing fun games,even though we lost ever y time but we enjoyed playing.  This year, Kannawidan was open  but  they trully follow about the protocols and everything that needs to follow. Facemask, face shield ans social distancing.Hoping that this pandemic will end soon. STAY SAFE  everyone!!!
