Last year was my first-ever Hot Air Ballon Fiesta, and though some of my expectations weren't met, I must say that I had a great time looking up in the sky watching our brave pilots fly in the air like some superheroes.
There were really a lot of activities to watch out for, so if I were you, you should also be there earlier so not to miss anything. And for your reference here's the schedule of this 4-day long flying extravaganza.

Every day of this 4-day flying fiesta is a whole day event, so I suggest that you bring money, food, drinks and event tent for you to enjoy the day. Though, there are some decent food stall inside, the prices are kinda high. The entrance ticket for this fiesta, as I've heard, is Php200.00 per head.
Our friends from R.O.X. shared to me that there'll be more exciting and breathtaking aerial shows to watch out for this year. R.O.X. will also be there at the event venue giving guests a glimpse of their exciting apparels as well as on-the-ground activities that they prepared for all the spectators of this fiesta. hey'll be also selling there some premium items to make your viewing pleasure more fun and memorable. There'll be the Alite monarch chair, Coghlans Foldable Chair, Coghlans Mini Fan to make sure that you get the best seats in the house and Zing Toys will also be available for your kids to enjoy.
I'll try to make a post regarding some do's and don't's in attending this event, but for now, mark those dates because this is one fiesta that you, your family and friends will truly enjoy!
See you at the 17th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta!
Happy rammmpa!
