Kannawidan: The Ylocos Festival

     The Kannawidan Festival is celebrated on the 29th of January up to the 5th of February.  It was launched in 2008 under the leadership of then Governor DV Savellano. 
     The Kannawidan Festival is now on it's 5th year.  We can preserve our traditions and products of our town and we can also promote tourism industry through the Kannawidan Festival.  It was opened with a concelebrated mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a procession of the patron saints in January 29 and on the night of the same date, the members of the Bayanihan Dance Company entertained the Ilocanos with their world class performance of the Beauty of the Philippines through dances, music and sounds.  There were also different contests for elementary and high school students.  Partuat ken Patanor Trade and Agri Fait also opened and the annual “Pinaka Contest” was also held.
     We should love our own products and we should know our old traditions, cultures and practices that the Ilocanos have.
