I already received a lot of emails from readers asking about the MassKara Festival 2012 Schedule as early as last year. This is understandable since those who want to join MassKara would want to book their flights early to avail of discounts and to book for the bacolod hotel of their choice.
This year will the 33rd MassKara Festival celebration and there would probably be a deluge of visitors this year considering MassKara won in Showtime‘s Inter Town competition.
This year, the Festival will be celebrated on October1-21 and below are the highlights of the festival.

Hi!
I have friends visiting from Cebu and I never go out during this celebration so i have quite no idea about the happenings. They would want know whether they will be able to take photos during the street parade or would they need to register for them to be allowed to roam the streets just like thy do in Sinulog.
Loved ur blog site!!!

Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes Poochie, they have to register with the Silver MassKara Foundation. I think it costs around P500.

Hi Karen! The Electric Masskara is usually held on Friday and Saturday so it’s going to be on October 19 & 20. It’s the MassKara Foundation which releases the final schedule of the festival but as of now the full schedule is not yet available.
