Well I can’t find any reason at all on why you should not experience this festival. We are talking
about the “MassKara Festival” a festival that displays a wide range of colorful costumes and lovable people. Just a little history of it the word "MassKara" is a portmanteau, coined by the late artist Ely Santiago from the word "mass" meaning "many or a multitude of the people", and the Spanish word cara meaning "face".

A prominent feature of the festival is the mask worn by participants; these are always adorned with smiling faces. MassKara thus means a multitude of smiling faces. The word is also a pun on maskara, the Filipino term for "mask".
The festival will features a street dance competition where people from all walks of life troop to the streets to see colorfully-masked dancers gyrating to the rhythm of Latin musical beats in a display of mastery, gaiety, coordination and stamina. This are the major activities that I don’t want to miss; the beauty pageant, carnivals, drum and bugle corps competitions, food festivals, sports events, musical concerts, agriculture-trade fairs, garden shows, and other special events.
Experiencing this festival can really be a top notch memory for me, something that is worth remembering of. I’ve seen a lot of other festivals but this one is really promising. So even if I think a dozen of reasons why I should not join the festival, I will surely miss a thousand reasons why I should join.
So what are you all waiting for, let’s get all our bags pack, have your mask on and lets fly to Bacolod for the Amazing MassKara Festival!
