Cute pets took centerstage via “Masskara Pawstival 2024” leading to the grandest festivity in Bacolod City set on Sunday, October 27, 2024. 

At least ten dogs flaunted their crown-inspired, lavender-themed Masskara Festival float and other costumes.

Of course, fur parents accompanied their babies in flexing colorful, ostentatious Masskara costumes on stage.

Fur mom, Azenith, said she spent time to the wee hours for the OOTD (outfit of the day) of her fur baby. But the effort is worth it, she said, because of her baby’s “highest level performance.”

“Mix-breed ito, Shitzu at Pomeranian. Masskara costume dahil ang theme is Masskara. Ginawa niyang playground ang stage," Azenith said.

Meawhile, fur mom Diane took her two fur babies to spend time on the ramp. Diane donned an outfit that matched her babies' costumes.

“Nag-enjoy naman silang mag-perform dito. Mabilisan lang kami,” Diane said.

Aside from prizes, participating fur babies received dog food and other giveaways.

The goal of the event is to show that pets can also join in the merriment of the Masskara Festival, a tourism signature of Bacolod City.
