Bacolod Public Plaza, nestled at the heart of Bacolod City, is a charming green space that reflects the laid-back spirit and vibrant heritage of the “City of Smiles.”
Known for its symmetrical design, the plaza is surrounded by trees, ornamental plants, and four gazebos representing the cardinal directions, making it a perfect first stop for travelers discovering the city’s historical core.
Just across from the San Sebastian Cathedral, Bacolod Public Plaza serves as a cultural and social hub where locals gather for leisurely strolls, musical performances, and public events. It becomes especially lively during the annual MassKara Festival, when the plaza lights up with colorful decorations, live bands, and food stalls, capturing the festive soul of Negros Occidental.
Whether you’re here for history, food, or festivals, the plaza is a must-visit stop in your Bacolod City tour.
