It's More Fun In Vigan : Ilocos Sur Tawid

 

Ilocos Sur is a beautiful province located in the northern Luzon. This year’s celebration was full of surprises. They invited many popular TV artist, conducted so many competitions. One of them was the street dancing competition where different provinces and other neighboring provinces showcased their cultures.

Kannawidan is an Ilocano term which means feast of heritage and culture. Kannawidan is an annual celebration of the province of Ilocos Sur. This festival of Ilocanos aims to restore the habit they have and showcase their inheritance from preceding generations. Kannawidan is derived from the Ilocano term "tawid" meaning inheritance.

Just like in the previously held Vigan City Fiesta, there is also a food and trade fair and the products are more diverse since it features different goods coming from the 22 towns of Ilocos Sur. There are also rides that people will enjoy. Additionally, Kannawidan is much more let's say extravagant in a way since artists come to the province and Ilocano fans have a chance to meet them up close.

Highlights of this festival are the Miss Ilocos Sur,  Kannawidan Street Dancing and Showdown. Miss Ilocos Sur is a pageant where beautiful young ladies represent their hometown and compete in different categories. The street dancing and showdown is where the representatives of towns face off for the different prizes waiting. 

Every heritage and culture is to be known by many. Stories to be passed down to the succeeding generations to come and hopefully they can witness the inheritance that our ancestors have presented us.
