Ati-Atihan Festival~ is a feast held annually in January in honor of the Santo Niño
(Infant Jesus), concluding on the third Sunday, in the island and town of Kalibo,
Aklan in the Philippines. The name Ati-Atihan means "to be like Atis" or "to make
believe Ati's", the local name for the Aeta aborigines who first settled Panay
Island and other parts of the archipelago.
The festival consists of tribal dance, music, accompanied by indigenous costumes
and weapons, and parade along the street. Christians and non-Christians observe
this day with religious processions. It has inspired many other Philippine Festivals
including the Sinulog Festival of Cebu and Dinagyang of Iloilo City, both
adaptations of the Kalibo's Ati-Atihan Festival, and legally holds the title "The
Mother of All Philippine Festivals" in spite of the other two festivals' claims of the
same title.
