The 2012 Kannawidan Ylocos Festival opened with a concelebrated mass held at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral followed by a procession of the patron saints of the 40 parishes including the images of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary around the province’s capital city in the afternoon of on January 29. .
Kannawidan started on January 29 and ended on February 5. Those days had their own event. One is the Raniag Festival, battle of the bands, and many more. We are very honor that we are Ilocanoes. As Savellano said“Through this “Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, we are preserving and sustaining our old traditions, attractive products and practices as we are also promoting our tourism industry.” And According to Governor Luis Chavit Singson, the province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. However, many of these traditions, songs, dances and other Ilocano cultures were not already familiar to the younger generations due to the influence of the television, computer and internet.
Kannawidan is one of showing our culture to other people, and still to preserve it. There are so many activities held at that days. they shown us what's there OTOP( One Town One Product ) is and it is for sale. Like in Vigan we have Bagnet and Longganisa. Be Proud to say I am a ILOCANO.
