The Kannawidan Ylocos event commemorates the
establishment of the province of Ilocos Sur. It is a month-long festival that
begins the last week of January and finishes the first week of February. It is
the Ilocanos' way of thanking the Almighty for not only the many benefits, but
also for the province's rich tradition, which includes deep family
relationships among the Ilocanos.

It is traditional for a mass to be celebrated at the
St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral during the festival's opening day. It is
followed by a parade around Vigan City of the Patron Saints of the 40 parishes
as well as representations of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Provincial
DepEd officials frequently attend the liturgy and parade. The Ilocanos' strong
religiosity is on display at this celebration. The festival focuses largely on
Ilocano youngsters. It's because Ilocano culture isn't well-known among the
province's younger generations. Instead, there is a focus on contemporary
dances. Ilocano children will be able to appreciate their rich culture and
customs if they participate in projects like this. It is for this reason that
the Festival is held.

A
traditional rite is also done by Ilocos Sur students on the festival's first
day. This year, there are a variety of events focusing on the kids' abilities
and skills, such as traditional tribe rituals, choir, traditional and folk
dances. The Kannawidan Ylocos Festival invites younger generations to learn the
province of Ilocos Sur's indigenous songs and dances.
