After several attempts to catch the hot air balloon fiesta at Subic. I finally got the info for the event this 2010.
The event is celebrating it’s 15th year at the AFP grounds in Clark Freeport, Pampanga. There will be award ceremonies, and different attractions such as kite flying, paragliding, skydiving and of course the hot air balloons itself.
There is an entrance fee to the event, which is P150 per person, and if you want to ride the balloon (which I’m thinking of doing), the fee is 150 USD per person.
The hot-air balloon flight will be conducted everyday at 5:30 in the morning for the rest of the Feb 11 to Feb 14 event. (tentative)
Check out the event’s official website at philballoonfest.net for the latest news and changes about the event.
