Traditional dances and music were performed in the streets, that left viewers in awe. And the performers that practiced hard gave their best show. Of course the people didn't lack the energy and cheered to show their support. Their costumes were bright and beautiful, showcasing the rich culture of the province though artistic designs. The festival did not only show creativty, but it also showed equality and unity allowing young people to learn more about their heritage.
There were also many food stalls and souvenir shops around the area. I personally enjoyed the long walk at the Kannawidan Trade Fair and seeing different OTOP from different municipalities in Ilocos Sur. I've also seen a lot of people enjoy eating together and buying local products everywhere. This reminds me that the festival was not only about fun, but also about unity, pride, and supporting the community. It has shown me the depth of my heritage and why i am a proud Ilocano. Intayon Ilocos Sur was surely and truly a memorable celebration for everyone.
