Well, there is a colourful festival in the Philippines, The MassKara festival!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">There is no other celebration that can beat the MassKara Festival of Bacolod City. You can say that it is a cross in between Oktoberfest, Mardi Gras, and the Carnivale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">The festival in the Philippines is the epitome of creativity, an extravaganza of dance, and a gala celebration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">It goes down from the 5th to the 24th of October in Bacolod City, the city of smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">This annual fiesta, perhaps the happiest one in the world, was not always cheerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>The story behind the MassKara Festival<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">It began at a period of disaster and despair, back in the 80s&#8217; when sugar, the city&#8217;s main livelihood, was priced at an all-time low because of options introduced in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">The government and the locals decided to celebrate to relieve their oppression due to the economic crisis. So, the locals engaged in the festival by wearing smiling masks to hide the sadness in their faces and bright costumes while dancing and marching around the streets. This gave them a sense of happiness and hope. Thus, the MassKara Festival was born!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">These smiling masks were initially made by the local residents to be sold to tourists as a signature souvenir of Bacolod city and gain the attention of foreign visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Fortunately, it was a hit, tourists started buying the smiling masks, and the locals were able to produce significant profits due to tourism&nbsp;in Bacolod City, dubbing Bacolod as &#8220;The City of Smiles&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>What to expect at the MassKara Festival?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Roll up your sleeves; the festivities are going to get wild!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:17px\"><li>At night, colourful, electric neon lights brighten up the streets, and the dancers enrobe bright lights to their costumes, jubilating along with the parades.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:17px\"><li>Street dancing competitions are performed by skilled dancers dressed in bright traditional costumes and masks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:17px\"><li>The Electric MassKara, the most epic street party in Bacolod.
