We missed it last year, but it's finally flying again this 2020!
The Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2020 is happening on March 6-8, 2020 with a theme "Flying Carnival 2020: A Weekend of Almost Everything That Flies!" In a teaser posted at the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF) Facebook Page, they announced the dates of this highly-anticipated hot air ballon festival in the Philippines.
This hot air balloon festival is an event everyone is always looking forward to. It showcases a grand display of colorful Hot Air Balloons, aviation shows, paragliding, skydiving, among many other exciting aerial shows. Definitely, it will be another awesome weekend of everything that flies!
For many years, the festival was held at Clark Freeport Zone in Angeles City, Pampanga. For this year's edition, the organizers said that it will be held south of Manila. Hmmmm....? Where will it be? Will it be in Sangley Point in Cavite City? Or maybe in Fernando Airbase in Lipa City, Batangas? I also don't know. Any guesses?
Finally, the organizers have announced this year's hot air balloon festival venue! It will be at San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite!
