Held annually in February, the festival honors the hardworking farmers and the region’s deep connection to the land. The term "Kanniwadan," meaning "offering" or "tribute" in Ilocano, reflects the community's gratitude for the harvest and their natural resources. It showcases the Ilocano people's traditions, including their dance, music, and crafts, preserving the cultural heritage of the region.

By honoring the land that sustains the community, the festival encourages a deeper understanding of the need to protect natural resources. Ultimately, the Kanniwadan Festival serves as a celebration of Ilocos Sur’s rich heritage, community unity, and the enduring bond between its people and the environment.
