Kannawidan: Ylocos Festival

Kannawidan means inheritance. The culture and tradition lives on and is passed through generations. The Filipino and Ylocano values, cultures, and traditions are revived through the festivities during the month of February.

Here are some photos I took during the festival:

Ms. Samantha Gloria Singson also made an appearance and speech for being the first Most Outstanding Student Leader recipient.  

There was a carnival at the middle of the Quirino Stadium and stalls by the different municipalities of Ilocos Sur around it.

 Visual Arts Competitions, Souvenir Making Contest, and T-Shirt Design Competition was also held at the Quirino Stadium  during the Siglat Eskwela Awarding Ceremony. The theme for the competitions was the spirit of Kannawidan.

Kannawidan is an awaited festivity not only by the locals but also by the tourists that have become an avid fan of the beauty of Ilocos Sur.
