Negritos come to life

Thursday 19 February 2004, by catseye

Kalibo is a jump-off point to Boracay but its major attraction is Ati-atihan festival. Every mid of January, this town inside Aklan celebrates its fiesta with an extra-ordinary festival. Well decorated performers dance with their feet heavily stomping the ground- thus creating a loud shaking sound all over town. Revelers of various nationalities pack this town to participate in this fun-filled street party. They come in their colorful costumes to dance, drink and enjoy the loud frenzied beat of drums and shuddering tribal sounds. Surrounding districts imitated Ati-atihan but Kalibo has the craziest and most unique activities enjoyed by all its participants.

To get here, major airlines have regular flights from Manila To Kalibo.
