Kannawidan: The Ylocos Festival

            Ilocos Sur has a rich heritage and unique culture.  However, it is observed that many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano culture are no longer familiar with younger generations.  There is a need to preserved our rich heritage and unique culture.  With this in mind, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur has conceived a festival that highlights this culture and traditions and attract local and foreign tourist as well.  Dubbed the Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, it is also a commemoration of the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a province.
