The Sto. Nino Festival in Malolos, Bulacan, celebrated every last Sunday of January, is the biggest expression of devotion to the Hioly Child Jesus in the Luzon island.  The festivities begin with an exhibit of the Sto. Nino (Holy Child) and culminate in a grand procession of hundreds of folk,  antique, and new statues of the Holy Child in different manifestations, e.g. as shepherd boy, as keeper of the world, as a sleeping child, etc.

Beautifully decorated carrozas getting ready for dapit, a term derived from pagdapit or invitation. The carroza of the Sto. Niño de Malolos, together with a band, goes around the streets inviting other carrozas along the way. These carrozas in turn follow in a long sequence to the chapel where a translacion mass is held. Dapit is the first of three processions during the fiesta weekend, the other two happens on Sunday, one in the morning and the grand procession in the afternoon.
