Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta
The Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta combines balloons with a wider aviation programme. The calendar retains its February 2026 edition.
The organiser describes the 2026 gathering as its 26th edition and includes FAI competitions alongside ballooning. Other advertised activities include paragliding, drone displays and entertainment on the ground. It is an aviation festival with several programmes, so a ticket for the day does not necessarily include every flying activity.
Check the organiser’s current venue and ticket instructions before making transport plans. Historical photographs of the fiesta often show earlier sites and editions; they should not be used as directions to a future event. The image on this page is archival.
No new edition dates were established in this review. The February dates in the calendar refer to 2026, which has finished. For a future visit, wait for an edition-specific announcement covering the venue, admission, flying sessions and passenger booking conditions. Do not treat an old ticket link as confirmation that the next fiesta is on sale.
