Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2012 Schedule of Activities


The yearly spectacular and colorful Clark Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is once again gracing the aviation field of the Clark Freeport on Feb. 9 - 12, 2012.   Spectators can look forward to a larger and more varied 4-day event as at least nine countries are expected to participate according to Noemi Garcia, the head of the CDC Tourism and Promotions Office.  This means, more balloons from a larger number of countries than in 2011!  In addition, the Balloon Fiesta 2012 is said to include additional exhibitions and more varied aerial demonstrations.  Below is the schedule of activities.
