The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said the hot air balloon fest to be held over the Valentine’s weekend in Tarlac is estimated to attract about 20,000 attendees, boosting the province’s economy.
“We are expecting, if the weather forbids and gets better, six or seven thousand [attendees per day],” BCDA Vice President for Investment Promotions and Marketing Erwin Kenneth R. Peralta told reporters on the sidelines of a briefing on Thursday.
The Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF), now in its 26th year, will take place at New Clark City (NCC) in Tarlac on Feb. 13 to 15, 2026.
