Masskara Adventure 2013
Masskara Bacolod
Masskara Festival is celebrated every October 1-20, but the street dance is always at the last week. The event were participated by various Barangays from Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. The street dance competition is the major event of the fiest. Photographers really enjoy this part of the event. Mask masterpiece are used in the street dance and it is made from fiber glass and different various materials, and some mask can reach 4 kilograms.
History
The festival first began in 1980 during a period of crisis. The province relied on sugar cane as its primary agricultural crop, and the price of sugar was at an all-time low due to the introduction of sugar substitutes like high fructose corn syrup in the United States. It was also a time of tragedy; on April 22 of that year, the inter-island vessel MV Don Juan carrying many Negrenses, including those belonging to prominent families in Bacolod City, collided with the tanker Tacloban City and sank. An estimated 700 lives were lost in the tragedy.
In the midst of these tragic events, the city’s artists, local government and civic groups decided to hold a festival of smiles, because the city at that time was also known as the City of Smiles. They reasoned that a festival was also a good opportunity to pull the residents out of the pervasive gloomy atmosphere. The initial festival was therefore, a declaration by the people of the city that no matter how tough and bad the times were, Bacolod City is going to pull through, survive, and in the end, triumph.
