KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL


Festivals are a fun and engaging way to commemorate and celebrate our rich history, culture, and traditions. They're meant to be shared with our loved ones to commemorate significant events and experiences in our lives. They have a vital role in structuring our interpersonal interactions and connecting us to our families and traditional culture, among other things. They provide a pleasant break from the routine of our daily lives, as well as incentive to reflect on the important events and moments in our lives that have passed.


The focus of the festivity is on the Ilocano children. It's because Ilocano culture isn't well-known among the province's younger generations. Instead, a greater emphasis is placed on current dances. Children from the Ilocano region may learn to appreciate and respect their rich culture and traditions. This Festival is being held for this same reason. Every year, a range of events, such as traditional tribe ceremonies, choral performances, and traditional and folk dances, are organized to showcase the children' abilities and capabilities.


The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival commemorates the division of the two Ilocos provinces, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. It features local products that Ilocos Sur is proud of, as well as distinct customs and traditions, particularly the Ilocanos' deep-rooted religiosity. It is also a way for llocanos to express their appreciation to God, not just for his many blessings and rich legacy, but also for the strong family bonds that exist among Ilocanos.
