A weekend of everything that flies at Air Force City in Clark.
Part 1 of 2012 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark
I
never got the chance to see an actual hot air balloon when I was
still a kid. So when I learned that there is a festival celebrated in
Clark in tune of its hot air balloons, I eagerly googled it and
planned to attend to this one of a kind festival in the Philippines.
Hot
Air Balloon Festival started sometime in the mid 90’s and it was
still a small event before. But now, the Philippine International Hot
Air Balloon Festival in Clark draws in tourists (both foreign and
local) to a staggering 100,000 in total last February 2012, knowing
that the only main event was of course the flight of the hot air
balloons. Other side events include the paragliding show, sky diving
and night glow pushed through the night. The festival is annually
celebrated inside Omni Aviation Complex at Air Force City in Clark,
Pampanga. This happens every second week of February, most likely
from Thursday until Sunday.

Compared
to other festivals celebrated in other parts of the Philippines, Hot
Air Balloon Festival in Clark is small. But it is still a bigger
event compared to your friend’s birthday party so let’s get into
some list I prepared for you who plan to attend this event in Clark.
Some kind of teaser.
