Ilocos Sur: Viva 2020 Kannawidan

          This 2020, the townsfolks of Ilocos Sur will hold the 13th Kannawidan Ilocos Festival - in memory of the 202 year aniversary, honoring the birth of the province.

          This festival at the end of January is made to showcase the best of Ilocos Sur culture, from traditional dress and folk dance to tribal rituals and marching band contests.

          A total of 48 contenders will unveil their talents in a 13 day period marking the start of the prestigious event. Apart from largely boosting Ilocos Sur's tourism, the bizzare culture of Ilocos is the motive why we celebrate Kannawidan Festival that started under the leadership of former governor Deogracias Victor “DV” B. Savellano in 2008.

         Kannawidan Festival took its first onset on the 2nd of February 2008 im memory of the 190th year anniversary of the enactment of the Royal Decree that will divide the provice of Ilocos into Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. In 2019, the townsfolks of Ilocos Sur together with Ilocos Norte
celebrated the 201 year anniversary of going independent.

          May we invite you visitors to take part in our Kannawidan Festival and to witness what we have in store for you. Come one and come all to be our guests for 2 weeks of endless joy.
