Heritage is
needed for every society because it reinforces identity, and people act or
react according to their examples of history and characteristics of the order
established in their society. Consequently, as in the case with culture, every
social group develops their own heritage. The capacity to render group identity
meaning lies in the creation of heritage
Kannawidan
became one of the most awaited annual celebrations in the province and
consequently improves Ilocano culture. One way to understand community is to
look at it as a social construction, in which people create the feeling of
similarity based on their culture, thus the starting point of community is the
culture.

It has
developed different activities to showcase the richness of Ilocos Sur culture
and heritage. One of which became the most popular part of the
festivalcommunity food ways. Here, the meaning of food beyond the physical fact
is stressed. There is also a need to evaluate the different products of the
different municipalities and the agricultural products and livestock of the
farmers and fisher folks. Because of this, the provincial government of Ilocos
Sur conceived a festival that will highlight these culture and traditions and
attract local and foreign tourists as well. They call it the KANNAWIDAN Ylocos
Festival, it is also a time to commemorate the anniversary of Ilocos Sur as a
province since it was separated on February 3, 1818. Kannawidan is a variant of
the Ilocano word "tawid" meaning heritage or inheritance.
Celebrating Kannawidan Ylocos
Festival are one of the biggest and happiest events in Ilocos. It is a way to
showcase the culture and heritage of the Province of Ilocos Sur. But because of
the circumstances we are in, we were not able to celebrate 2021 Kannawidan
Festival the same as before. But what’s important now is that we managed to get
through, people would not forget our culture and traditions and should pass on
to the next generation.
