      Splendid stance, intriguing costumes and stunning performances. Another period for the celebration of Kannawidan has arrived. Being a part of  this kannawidan gives me a great pleasure. Make me proud of being a true blooded Ilocano.

      This festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province rich cultural heritage practices and traditions and showcase of different agriculture and industry products of the province. Its custom and traditions give itself a notable peculiarity. According to what is happening now, modernization is strongly influencing plenty of people which lends to the fact that customs and traditions are gradually waning. Modernized people now a days, particularly to children are very fun of spending most of their time watching television and surfing on the internet. The kannawidan articulated  the sign of the extinction of the culture. With this kind of assessment, there is really a need to revive & reawaken the soul and spirit of Ilocano.

      Kannawidan festival gives you plenty of activity which also sets the stage to a religious procession with miraculous saints from different municipalities. There is a tribal performance which dances and crafts the local products, cultural dances and ethnic rituals, food fest with their traditional cuisine and many more. They mounted their talent as well as their attractive costumes. The most attractive was the OTOP FAIR. Each municipality display and impress people about their products and for them to emphasize the essence of their town.

      This Festival is very momentous to people of the province as they celebrate the province of virtue of the royal decree signed on February 2, 1818. Surely this conduction of the program was going to be so successful and has really attain its purpose of reviving and preserving the rich Ilocano culture. I AM PROUD TO BE TRUE BLOODED ILOCANO
