Kannawidan: The Ylocos Festival

   
                                                 




      Often, as we all know, we celebrate festivities in different city and town.  Festivals of the Saints are common.  But aside from this, there is this very popular " Kannawidan Festival" of Ilocos sur  which is held during February 1 to 2.
     Kannawidan, as far as I know, it is the separation of Ilocos sur from Ilocos norte.
     Kannawidan is celebrated at the side of Vigan Capitol.  When you enter this small door, you will see different types of ornamental plants, root crops, tables and chairs that are made from strong trees.  We can also see fishes, vendors of jewelries and even the "One Town,One Product"of each town of Ilocos Sur.At night,there are live shows which we can eatch at the Plaza Salcedo,Vigan City.
      As a conclusion,Kannawidan Festival is one way to appreciate the products of Ilocos Sur.You can entertain yourself or shop at the Kannawidan Festival mini market.It also show the hardwork and creativity of Ylocano's.
