            Ilocos Sur is a very religious, progressive and an investor friendly province.  Many beautiful sights and tourist spots can be found only here in Ilocos Sur such as Calle Crisologo, Syquia Mansion, Bell Tower in Bantay, Ilocos Sur, Balaurte, Mindoro Beach, Heritage of Vigan, Vigan River Cruise, Dancing Fountain and many more. We have also many delicious foods like what we called Bagnet, Empanada, Longganisa and others.  We also regularly celebrates various festivals like Binatbatan Festival, Longganisa Festival and the festival that we just celebrate last January 29 to February 04 the what we called kannawidan Festival.

            This Kannawidan festival is the fiesta of the province of Ilocos Sur that showcase the culture and traditions of Ilocano’s and promotes the products of Ilocos Sur such as Burnay, Abel, food products and others.  Kannawidan Festival is a long weekend celebration and this was started last 2008 by the leadership of Vice Gov. DV Savellano and just continued by Gov. Ryan Singson because this is a big help for the Province of Ilocos Sur and for the growth of tourism.  Many different activities were performed under Kannawidan Festival such as Saniata Ti Ilocos, Saniata Ti Ilocos is the beauty pageant of Ilocos showcasing the aqua and agricultural products of Ilocano’s, different concerts and many different artist were performed in every night and many more.
