Ati-atihan Festival- Kalibo, Aklan

 It is the wildest among Philippine fiestas and considered as the Mother of All Philippine festivals. Celebrants paint their faces with black soot and wear bright, outlandish costumes as they dance in revelry during the last three days of this two week-long festival. Catholics and non-Catholics alike observe this special day with processions, parades, dancing, and merrymaking. It's celebrated annually every third week of January to honor the feast of the Holy Infant Jesus.
