Held every 2nd weekend of February in Clark (February 9 to 12, 2012), the annual festival features air-sporting events like hot-air balloon competition, aircraft maneuvers and precision flying, ultra lights, RC Demonstration Flying, sky diving, aircraft rally, racketeering, flag jump, balloon bursting competition, kite flying, trade fair, carnival rides and nightly concerts.
The participation of international hot-air balloons from all over the world draws thousands of people to the site to witness the early morning balloon fly-out and late afternoon fly-in.
The festival was initiated by the Department of Tourism in 1994 by then Secretary Mina Gabor to resuscitate the fledgling spirit of the Kapampangans-only three years following the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. The tourism regional office led by Regional Director Ronaldo Tiotuico handled the initial stages of the project in cooperation with Clark Development Corp. and the local govt. of Angeles City before turning it over to the Hot Air Balloon Club of the Philippines.
