Celebrating Through the Pandemic

 

Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is a festival at the end of January celebrates the best of Ilocos Sur culture, from traditional dress and folk dance to tribal rituals and marching band contests.

                Residents of the province of Ilocos Sur have a simpler celebration of the annual Kannawidan Ylocos Festival this year.This festival mostly held at Vigan City but this year the festival takes place through online platforms and only chosen personnel to attend the activities. As an Ilocano member in our community I can say that this festival became successful because even there is pandemic. Unlike previous years when the Kannawidan Festival is being celebrated for at least a month, this year, it will only run for a week. The Saniatia ti Ilocos 2021 also became successful but some of the municipalities in our province didn’t participate in this contest because some of these have an active case of Covid-19

                We must adapt and accept the new normal in participating in festivals because this is the only way we can help the frontliners
