Every year, tens of thousands flock to Bacolod City in Negros Occidental for MassKara Festival, one of the most colorful and fun festivals in the Philippines. Started as a way to uplift the spirits of Negrenses in the midst of a sugar crisis and a devastating tragedy, the MassKara Festival celebrates the unbreakable spirit of Filipinos with lively street parties, colorful parades, dance and music concerts, and food fests.
With tons of things to do and sights to see, it can get overwhelming. But to make it easier, Smart has whipped up some of the biggest parties and awesome activities for an unforgettable MassKara Festival experience this weekend:
