The document discusses the Ati-Atihan Festival, an annual three-day religious festival held in Kalibo, Aklan in the Philippines in honor of the Santo Niño or the Holy Child Jesus. It originated from the locals mocking Spanish conquerors and has evolved into a celebration of music, dancing, and street parties where participants dress up in colorful Native-American inspired costumes. The festival stems from Spanish Catholic influence and has become a popular tourist attraction celebrating Filipino culture and heritage.
