Masskara Festival 2008 and 70th Charter Day Anniversary of Bacolod City
Why am i writing about the Masskara Festival this early? well for one, you guys have to start booking your hotel and tickets… it isnt that easy to go to Bacolod, the crowd seems to get bigger and bigger every year. This year is the 70th Charter Anniversary of the City so expect a lot of balikbayans coming back to celebrate the masskara festival and the Charter day of Bacolod! Note before booking any hotel.. check the route map below and see where your hotel is located. Making sure that it is near the parade route since they close the streets and it is always hard to get a ride.
There are other festivals coming up and lets not forget that too, The Kadayawan Festival in Davao and the Kagay-an Festival of Cagayan de Oro both happening at the end of the month! Masskara would be on my top list of Festival to visits in the Philippines, Why? well Massakara has a different flavor to it. If you noticed that the other festivals have the same look. The Masskara is full of color and has an almost picture perfect appeal that is unique to Bacolod.

It will be my 4th year to shoot the Masskara Festival and definitely not my last! Looking forward to seeing you there!
