MassKara named a must-go festival
MANILA, Philippines - The MassKara Festival has once again been chosen as one of the most highly recommended celebrations not only in the Philippines but in the whole world.
In a recent article posted on thoughtcatalog.com, the world famous fiesta held every October was included in the website’s “12-month calendar of amazing things happening all over the world.”
The write-up – “12 international parties that are totally worth the plane ticket” – described the MassKara Festival as a joyous, annual masked ball after the city experienced two major crises in the early ’80s.
All roads should lead to Bacolod every October, said Bacolod City Mayor Monico Puentevella, adding that the whole city is proud and privileged for the MassKara Festival to be included on the list. The festival is scheduled on Oct. 1-19, with the highlights in the last five days.
Also included in the yearly roundup of international parties is the Cape Minstrel Carnival of Cape Town, South Africa (January); Carnival of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (February); Holi Festival of India (March); King’s Day of Amsterdam (April); Lighting in a Bottle of Bradley, California (May); Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival of Manchester, Tennessee (June); Boryeong Mud Festival of Boryeong, South Korea (July); La Tomatina (August); The Great Reno Balloon Race of Reno, Nevada (September); Festival of Light of Chiang Mai, Thailand (November) and Art Basel of Miami Beach, Florida (December).
