Those who are aware of the history of Masskara Festival can say that it is as colorful as the masks and costume of the dancers. With the support of everybody, the festival has come a long way and this year will be the 30th Masskara Festival.
Every Masskara Festival is better than the last and this year, people are expecting no less. Bacolod City has more reasons to celebrate this year since the city has been blessed with various awards and investments especially in the BPO sector. The people of Bacolod are cordially inviting everyone to celebrate with us in this year’s Masskara Festival.
Below is the 2009 Masskara Festival Schedule of Activities. I have also attached here a downloadable copy of the MassKara 2009 Schedule.
