Bacolod MassKara Festival 5.36

Mass/Kara
The MassKara (a combination of the English word “mass” and the Spanish “kara,” meaning “face”) is a festival that started in the early 1980s, when world prices for sugar plummeted; and Bacolod City, the country’s sugar capital, was hit by a major crisis.

Celebrate with us!
Held every third weekend of October or on the closest weekend to October 19, it dramatizes the steadfast character of the Negrenses and symbolizes what the people of the City of Smiles do best: putting on a happy face when confronted with challenges.
