Kannawidan Festival




      The Province of Ilocos Sur once celebrated again Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. “Kannawidan” is a local term used by the Ilocanos which means ‘a traditional practice’. This occasion had opened the eyes of the Ilocanos to the culture and traditions their ancestors in the past had brought them. It’s also their way of celebrating the Ilocano spirit that continues to drive locals to boost their home province.
              Residents displayed products under the One-Town-One-Product (OTOP) namely: onions, garlic products from pickled and dried garlic and garlic polvoron for Sinait town; bamboo products such as trays and baskets for Cabugao; buri palm leaves products such as mat, bags, baskets, fan, hats for San Juan; corn husk bags, flowers, curtains, slippers for Magsingal; local wine called basiâ for San Ildefonso; sugar cane products namely vinegar, basi, balikutsa, muscovado and dudulâ made of rice cake and raw sugar topped with coconut fat for Santa Maria; nata de cocoâ for San Esteban; blacksmith products, knives, bolos, scythes for Santa; vegetables for Santa Catalina and yellow ginger or turmeric for Gregorio del Pilar.
        This is important occasion and such a great for all the Ilocos. And this is the time to reminisce our past. And this is the culture we treasure.
