Kari sa Bacolod! Come to Bacolod City!
On this, the 31st year of the MassKara Festival, we are happy to invite the world to come and experience our city. Savor our delicacies. Revel in our dances. Get lost in our energies. Be awed by our arts and crafts. Feel the warmth of our people, embodied in the smiles in their faces.
Once more, we are dancing in our streets to celebrate the indomitable spirit of our people, how, in the face of the gloomiest of situations, we manage to smile and stand up with the resolve that no matter what, we will survive, we will make it and we will triumph against the odds.
Three decades and a year ago, our people, through their government, civic citizens and artists conceived of this festival to lift our spirits and take us out of the dark. As a tourism executive then, I was part of this group and saw the festival grow; in fact, I am proud to say I helped nurture it.
Look where MassKara festival is now: a celebration we are proud to present to the world.
Kari sa Bacolod!
MAYOR EVELIO R LEONARDIA
