In celebrating Kannawidan Festival, we can encounter talents and also, we can meet popular people. There are a lot of activities that we can encounter in this celebration. Ilocos Sur also have trade Fair where we can see delicious foods and carnavalan where we can play games like Viking and some stuffs.
