Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is
one of the most enjoying fiestas of Ilocos Sur. Kanniwadan Festival is an
annual festival to promote and preserve the culture of the province and its
traditions. This festival is a very significant fiesta to every resident in the
province of Ilocos Sur as they are celebrating the foundation of Ilocos Sur as
a province under the Royal Decree signed on February 2, 1818. But this year,
2021 because of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic Kannawidan Festival is not that
festive compared to other years. Kannawidan means heritage or inheritance and
in Ilocano means “tawid”.
Kannawidan
is a place for showcasing the traditions and cultures of different parts of
Ilocos Sur. Kannawidan Festivals also have the highlights including the street
dancing, marching band competition, trade fair, and chorale competition, and
the most important part is the “one town, one product” of every town in Ilocos
Sur. This year is different because of the Pandemic. Many activities were
canceled just like the street dancing competition. The struggle is real during
this celebration. People will maintain their social distancing and wearing face
masks and face shields and also sanitize their selves. People going to the
trade fair also maintain social distancing and also have to write their names
as for the contact tracing that they would do in case there is a Covid positive. Kannawidan Ylocos Festival 2021 is not the same
compared to previous years.
