Ati-Atihan Festival (Kalibo, Aklan)

The Ati-Atihan

  held every January in the town of Kalibo in the province of Aklan on the island of Panay, is the wildest among Philippine fiestas. 

  Celebrants paint their faces with black soot and wear bright, outlandish costumes as they dance in revelry during the last three days of this week-long festival.

  The Ati-Atihan, a feast in honor of the Santo Niño, is celebrated on the second Sunday after Epiphany.

 first stop we visited the church..

 around 2pm the street dancing began :D

 colorful costumes.. very nice people..

 even if they're dancing, when we asked them if its okay to take pics 

they would stop and yes! strike a pose with us! <3

 because of this devotee suddenly i remember my grandmom! :">

 5 mins. boat trip from Boracay
and a
2 hours road trip from Caticlan 

it was our first time to celebrate in a very festive place!

I really had fun in Kalibo!
