Celebrating the icons of Bacolod

The 28th MassKara Festival is the prelude to the diamond year of Bacolod that starts next year. As such, it celebrates the icons of Bacolod – symbols, institutions, landmarks and products that have, over time, become representative of the city. These icons include the bandstand at the Bacolod public plaza, the San Sebastian Cathedral, piaya, butong-butong and other sugar products, sugar stalks, San Miguel Beer, fighting cocks, durian and mangoes, orchids and other cutflowers, prawns and other seafoods and the like.
This is meant raise awareness and sense of pride for Bacolod and all things related to the city as we prepare to mark a major milestone in her history.
