It is a four-day event that shouldn’t be missed for everyone will surely take pleasure as the hot air balloons fill the sky with color.
For 22 years now, the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF) has been bringing together aviators from all over the world for a Weekend of Everything that Flies. Hot air balloons, fighter jets, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights and microlights, skydivers, paragliders, and even kitefliers all go up in the air to share their passion for flying with thousands of local and international tourists. This fun-filled feast showcases all the best in the Philippines – the friendliest and happiest locals, the country’s rich culture and heritage, and the pilot getaway to the country’s most majestic beaches that follows every fiesta. And because we know that every experience is best when shared, the fiesta offers guests what could be their first ever airplane and helicopter ride, tandem skydiving, tandem paragliding, and the chance to see the beauty of Pampanga aboard a hot air balloon.
