Boracay, Philippines – Come January 2010, the island of Boracay will be festive once again as it celebrates the annual Ati-Atihan Festival – the country's local version of Mardi Gras. The well-known Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo, which is a boat and car ride away from Boracay, will also be held at White Beach, Boat Station 1, on the second Sunday of January.
The festival not only pays homage to Santo Nino, but it is also a celebration of a bountiful harvest and the unity between two different tribes. The first Ati-Atihan was celebrated to seal the peace pact between the Aetas and the Malays, enabling them to respect each other’s cultural differences and beliefs.
The beach is a sight to behold during the festival because of the colorful costumes and the enthusiastic dancing of the performers and tribal groups. The rhythmic beat of the drums played during the parade provides a lively, joyous atmosphere visitors will want to be a part of.
When planning to visit Boracay to take part in the festival, the ideal accommodation provider would be Crown Regency Resort Boracay. The resort is located at Boat Station 3 on the island, providing a more peaceful atmosphere for guests since it is far from the clubs and bars.
