| Masskara: Spanish for mask and many faces |
If Germany has the Oktoberfest, then the people of Bacolod City have a 20-day Masskara Festival to trump those groß mugs of white beer and lederhosen. Originally meant to commemorate the hardships of the people of the region, the Festival has now become a tool for escapism.
All right, the Masskara Festival is an awesome event where people dance in the streets, drink beer, be merry, wear masks, climb poles, and stuff.
This website describes the Masskara Festival better than I can so just check it out and get out of here: http://www.philippinecountry.com/philippine_festivals/masskara_festival.html
