The MassKara Festival in Bacolod City is one of the largest festivals in the Philippines. Coinciding with the city’s Charter Day celebration, the event features carnivals, fairs and a mardi-gras style by costumed and masked street dancers. This is also a celebration of the founding anniversary of Bacolod City.
