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.
