Ilocano Ak: Ilocano’s Kannawidan Festival
Ilocano Ak: Ilocano’s Kannawidan Festival
Kannawidan Festival, among Ilocos
Sur’s very historic festivals for so many years. Celebrated annual during the
late January until February for weeks. It is held at Vigan City. But because of
the pandemic the government of Ilocos Sur announced that there will be
guidelines to be followed.
Unlike before the pandemic, everyone
is allowed to come. But now below 15 years old and senior citizens are not
allowed to ensure safety. In Trade and Food Fair as usual, one town one product
which will give benefit to the sellers to have income and profit. Use of face
mask is a must every time to enter the Kannawidan Grounds. The pageant “Saniata
ti Ylocos Sur” will only be viewed on social media apps to avoid mass
gathering. Kannawidan Summer Sports will be held the whole month of March but
crew and participants must undergo COVID-19 test. However there are no final
decision yet for this event.
We might not enjoy Kannawidan
Festival the way it used to be. But we need to follow the guidelines to avoid
being infected by the virus. All we need is patience and deep understanding.
