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.
