When Bacolod Turns Into One Giant Celebration
BACOLOD - A single smile can brighten a moment, but thousands of them can transform an entire city. Bacolod's MassKara Festival returns this October with the colorful masks, lively performances, and community celebrations that have become closely associated with the City of Smiles.

With performers, artists, athletes, and communities contributing to the festivities, the celebration offers visitors a chance to see Bacolod's creativity expressed in many different forms.
Beyond the Masks, Discover the City Behind the Festival
