Many Bigueños and other people from different localities want to experienced the Libot, it is a Filipino tradition where were we marched along the streets together with our Patron Saints. It was on January 28 when it began, and also it is the opening event. But before that, a concelebrated mass was held at St.Paul Cathedral. On January 29, "Partuat ken Patanor Trade Fair" was held and a very nice concert of the True Faith Band with Rada and Lovi Poe. Delphic games was held on January 30 which you can sight the different crafts demo, visual & design artworks. It is also on that day where the remaining makers and artists of the Living Treasures of the province where recognized and honored. There is also an intermission dance number presented by the Bayanihan Dance Company. On January 31, a horse race was held. This day is where we recognized & honored Fr. Jose Burgos and also the outrageous concert of Sarah Geronimo. On the 1st month of February, the Culture & Arts competition was held. There is also the Recognition & Awarding of SIGLAT Awards.

If I only attend those events, maybe I could have more words to utter. But, atleast we visited it once, we have atleast the time to tour the whole coverage of the Trade Fair. I've seen many traditional cultures, ancient artworks made from woods and amazing veggies! LOL! Kannawidan Festival is really amazing! It's the perfect celebration I could ever imagine. Kannawidan is really a pleasure! The Pride of the Ilocanos-- KANNAWIDAN!
