For four days every year, the sky is filled with magnificent hues of color on all shapes and sizes, floating up and above hundreds of people.

Every second week of February, the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon festival happens in Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles City, Pampanga. Heralded as one of the longest-running aviation sports event in the Philippines, various hot air balloons dot the sky, with pilots from all over the world controlling them.

The well-organized event boasts a number of diverse activities as well, such as signal bounces, skydiving, free-form acrobatics, place and helicopter presentations, miniaturized scale light and rocketry showings, and many more.
The balloons are open for one to ride (for a fee) and see Angeles City from high up. Many other countries participate in the event as well, with hot air balloons being bigger and more colorful than last year’s.
