Fifteen years ago, a noble idea developed in the minds of a group of civic spirited Ilocanos who wanted to promote cultural awareness and preserve the rich historical and cultural heritage of Ilocos Norte. They wanted to rekindle in the youth and future generations the pride of their heritage. The magnificent idea developed and is now a living reality, KANNAWIDAN, the Iloko Foundation of Arts and Culture.

Last January 29,2014 until February 3,2014 we celebrated Kannawidan at the Quirino Stadium.Many tourists went at the Quirino Stadium to watch different programs. Different towns also presented their products,there was also a pageant  “Saniata ti Ylocos.”Many artist went at to Stadium to entertain the Ilokano’s.

This is another successful year for the Province of Ilocos Sur.
