Intayon Ilocos Sur Festival is a massive tribute to the province's heritage. Usually held in early February, the festival coincides with the anniversary of the province’s separation from Ilocos Norte. The word "Intayon" literally means "Let’s go," which serves as a warm invitation for locals and tourists to see what the region has to offer.

Visitors can expect a lot of energy. There are street-dancing competitions where performers wear costumes made from local materials, such as Abel Iloco fabric. You’ll also find trade fairs showcasing Vigan empanada, longganisa, and handcrafted pottery. It’s a great way to see the traditions of Ilocos Sur in one place without feeling like you're in a museum.

What makes this festival stand out is how it involves every town in the province. Each municipality brings its own "Binallay" or local pride to the capital city of Vigan. If you’re planning a trip, this is the best time to experience the food, the crafts, and the people all at once. It’s loud, colorful, and very welcoming.
