Kaluskos Bamboo Arch is a very significant folk art produced by Cardona’s local artisans. This kind of folk art is traditionally used in different celebrations which include the town fiesta, yuletide season, weddings, anniversaries and birthdays among other significant events in the locality. The arch is made of bamboo, decorated and crafted by hand. Preparation of the materials for the arch produces squeaky sounds like the kissing of the snakes, cockling of chickens and marching horses, thus its name “Kaluskos”.
