I liked your blog very much. This blog is very informative regarding 14th Hot Air Balloon Festival in Philippine and its schedule. I am a big lover of hot air balloon festivals and love to write about them. I wrote a blog about “Hot Air Balloon Festival-Bristol International Balloon Fiesta,England” and want to share this with you. I hope that you will like it.
In fairness, bonggang bonnga talaga ang watermark.

Hello there! How much is the entrance fee for the exhibitions. Also how much should we budget for the day? We’re planning to go on our own lang and not join tours. Thanks!
Marie, entrance is PHP100 before. not sure if theyre going to increase..
Nice! Where does the audience stay? Do we need to bring our own tables, chairs and umbrellas? Are there ample facilities (like washrooms)? We have some senior citizens coming along hopefully its bearable for them.
please help me how to get there?
magkano entrrance?
anu2 pa ung mga activity?
may website ba sila?
please text me @ 09229226411
to go to the venue via public transport, take a bus that’s either bound for Baguio or Dagupan. but just to be sure, ask the driver if theyll stop in DAU.
Alight at the Dau bus station. From there, either take a jeepney marked as “Clark Gate” or take a tricycle going to the clark gate.
Upon arrival, take a jeepney that goes inside the clark field. telll the driver to drop you at the hot air balloon venue.
ilove to celebrate my bday on feb 14 there where can i register to attend the festival how much ; where and when.
info above says, the balloons takes off at 5AM and return in the afternoon. I thought balloons goes where the winds go. How do they come back to take off point? Can the balloons maneuver against the wind like sailboats? Pardon my ignorance please.
they fly out in the morning to where the wind may bring them., but the fly back to the venue late in the afternoon.
how much is the ticket for this? how much? and where can i get? thanks

Hi Avvy & Yra,
I tried browsing this year’s hot air balloon and saw this website:
http://www.clarksubicmarketing.com/…/clark_hot_air_balloon_festival.htm
There are FAQs and I’ve read that you can ride the balloon. It’s on a first come, first serve basis and costs US$150.
we were there with my kids last year! ang ganda grabe!!! check out our photos so u have some ideas just click the link.
we are planning to comeback this coming feb and my kids are really excited ….
hello. Are there any details kung panu maka avail ng ride sa balloon? thanks much
very informative indeed…was just wondering where we can stay during the activities…are there table and chairs provided? or can people bring picnic mats and all?
dun sa mga nkapunta na..share nman pls.
Can visitors get a chance to ride a balloon? How?
San affordable magstay malapit sa venue? tnx
magkano ang pagsakay ng hot air balloon? kasama na ba sa ticket na P150 ang bayad dun? thanks.
sir,pano papunta dun coming from cubao
hi everyone..i live inside air force city at clark..its very easy to go here fm cubao..pls come to the event..its really nice!!!!its 1 of a lifetime experience..bring the kids!!! they’ll love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi gohan,
would u know any cheap hostel where we can stay overnight? ung malapit na ren sa venue ng balloon fiesta.
will be going there…
sa ABC Hotel.. 150 per ticket po siya
how much is the fee if i want to ride the hot air balloon?thanks! =)
what’s the number of ABC hotel?as in P150/head or per room?more thanks!!! =)
as to going there, hindi ba mahirap mag commute kahit ganun kaaga, 5:30am? i’m planning to go there feb 13 evening and enjoy the whole day event on the 14th..
any cheap maybe 1K-1.5K accommodations you can suggest?
i dont think commuting to clark early morning is a problem, I have done it last year. just make sure to get a Dau-bound bus early.. then take a jeepney going to the clark gate. from there, there are lots of jeepneys bound for DMIA that passes by the hot air balloon site.
sayang naman. the questions regarding how much ung ride sa balloon was not answered by anyone.
i hope somebody can help me.
your question has been answered already by some commenters on top.. its USD150 per person. first come first served
Hi! Is there an advance reservation? anyone knows their hot line numbers? or the registration is on the day itself? Thanks!
you can get your tickets at the gate.

Entrance is Php150, Ride is USD150/head for 20 minutes.

Oh I am so excited! I got my tickets at ticketnet for 150 Php for the entrance. It’s my first time, and my daughter is uber excited! I am also wondering what to bring. Although I am definitely bringing some snacks….Are their chairs over there?
i thought there will be a fireworks display on feb 14 at 8 pm, but it seems it was removed from the sched. aw. so sad.
is there any fireworks display pa rin po ba? do i have to reserve tickets po ba for sunday afternoon?
are pets not allowed? my family and I are going this sunday, and I was wondering if we can bring our pet pug. Anyone know if pets aren’t allowed? Thanks.
pets are allowed. ive been in this event for 5 years. trust me. and also, to remind you, try to go there are earlier cause people are getting massive especially this last day.
seats are available everywhere. hehe trust me. i use to seat on the grass. monobloc chairs ba? hehe
The 15th Phil Int’l Hot Air Balloon Fiesta was a spectacle to behold. It’s a highly recommended family experience. Witness up-close and personal how the balloon is prepared: from the time it’s unfolded from the truck to the time of its flight.See all the more than 20 beautifully colored and varied-shaped balloons fly before you: a photo sensation. Around sunset, see how these balloons are made to glow against the dark skies. In-between these balloon exhibitions, there are amazing plane-, parachute–, and paragliding exhibits to enjoy. You can even fly a kite or browse some military outfits and weaponry while the exhibits are ongoing. All these for only PhP150 worth of ticket.
