MASSKARA FESTIVALBacolod City holds its Charter Day on the 19th of
October every year. Coinciding with its Charter
Day is the MassKara Festival, a week-long
activity that is currently dubbed as the Festival
of Smile, a take on Bacolods own monicker as theCity of Smiles.
Unlike other festivals in the Visayas, however,
the MassKara is not religious or tribal in nature.Instead, the Festival ironically traces its roots on
tragedy.

The festival was first held in 1980, at a time
when sugar cane and sugar prices plummeted
and the livelihood of Bacolenos suffered.
It was also during that year that a terrible
maritime tragedy left more than 700 Negrenses
dead when the Don Juan and the tanker
Tacloban City collided with each other and sank.
To eclipse the tragedy and the sorrow, Bacolod
held its first MassKara Festival. The term
MassKarawas coined by Ely Santiago, meaningmany faces. It also became the festivals
trademark: smiling masks worn by the
participants.
