Bacolod City is noted for its annual celebration of the Masskara Festival (festival of smiling faces). Held during the month of October, the Bacoleños dramatize the Negrense virtue and indomitable soul wearing colorful costumes and smiling masks. This festivity has earned Bacolod the title "City of Smiles". The sugar capital of the country is rich in natural and man-made attractions. There’s Enchanted Isle, reputed for its white sand beaches and brimming vegetation. Isla Puti is very idle for all water sports activities. Mt. Kanloan, highest mountain range in the Visayan region, has a National Park with a variety of beautiful orchids and a boundless carpet of ferns and ligneous forest. Historical sites also abound the area like Palacio Episcopal, which served as a home for Spanish military and officials. Remnants of the past include several churches built during the Spanish era such as the San Sebastian Cathedral, Chapel of Santa Clara and Chapel of Cartwheels. Silay City, one of the top 25 destinations in the country, brings you back in time as you pass by stately mansions where sugar barons used to live.
