About the Philippine International Hot-Air Balloon Fiesta
A colourful aviation fiesta at Clark that pairs hot air balloons with skydiving, kite flying and aircraft displays under clear winter skies.
First flown in 1994, it is now in its 33rd year and one of Asia's established dates on the 2026 hot air balloon festival calendar.
The venue
The Philippine International Hot-Air Balloon Fiesta takes place in Angeles City, Philippines, in Asia. Check the official organiser site and local tourism resources for parking, accommodation and the latest schedule, as launch times depend heavily on the weather.
What to expect
Plan around the dawn and dusk mass ascents, when winds are at their calmest. Mornings are genuinely cold, so wrap up in warm layers and bring gloves for the early start. Every flight is weather-dependent, so check on the morning itself before you travel.
