This year, people from Ilocos Sur celebrate the 13th Kannawidan Ylocos Festival and the 202nd anniversary of the province of Ilocos Sur. The festival started on January 28 and ended on Februray 9. The 13 day festival consists of 48 activities and shows. Most of the shows and activities happened in Vigan City specifically at Tamag Grounds.
Aside from imrpoving the tourism of Ilocos Sur, the importance of this Kannawidan Ylocos Festival is to preserve and show the culture of Ilokanos. And because teenagers nowadays don't pay attention about our cultures and traditions. During the festival, visitors and tourists saw our old and new cultures, characteristics, and personalities. We are doing this so that the future generations will be aware of our culture. Antique furniture made by our ancestors and our products were also displayed. Some of the activities were zarzuela, procession, boxing (Kannawidan Boxing Cup), education day and night, fashion show, Saniata ti Agtutubo (pageant), street dancing parade and showdown, fun run, Titong Singson Youth Leadership Congress, longganisa eating contest, LGBT Night, fun bike, Rythm Fest, drag race, and many more. Many artists and singers were also invited during the festival. Some of them were: December Avenue, The Juans and Ben&Ben, which made the people feel heartbroken and sentimental. Andrew E., Erich Gonzales, and Gerald Anderson along with Barbie Imperial and Ronnie Alonte made the audience go wild. Neggi and Chad also came and made the audience laugh so hard. 
Thi year's Kannawidan Ylocos Festival was very enjoyable and awesome. One thing to describe it is rad. Though, the coronavirus outbreak happened. But it didn't stopped people from coming and enjoying the fest. Happy Kannawidan Ylocos Festival, earthlings!
