This year's Hot Air Baloon festival was held from February 12 to 15, and like the previous balloon fiestas, it will be held in Clark, Pampanga. Hot Air Baloon Fiesta 2009 is really an exciting event. With Med and Giboy around, we started off the arrival evening with a traditional dinner at Aling Lucing's The Original Sisig by the riles. We got up at around 4 am, and was running around the grounds by 5 am.

A lot of activities are in line for this event. Of course, you get to see the colorful hot air balloons from numerous participants. This year, foreign participants are also expected to join, and their number increased compared to the previous hot-air balloon fiestas.

List of activities for the day include:Kite Flying Contest, Light Plane Show, Sky Jumping, RC Planes Exhibition

Venue will be at Clark's Civil Aviation Complex. If you are not familiar with the place, you can simply go to the Diosdado Macapagal Airport. From there you can already see these gigantic balloons of different colors because the complex is just beside the airport.
