The International Balloon and Music Festival 2017, which was held last April 6 to 9, showered the skies of Lubao, Pampanga with more than 30 colorful hot air balloon flights from local and international participants. There were plenty of activities that were suited for all ages such as skydiving and paragliding, fireworks displays, and magic shows that filled four wonderful days.

It’s as clear as a sunny sky that LubaoIBMF2017 created an amazing time for everyone, especially as it was capped off with a concert that kept everyone excited, featuring international artists like Alex Aiono, Red Foo, and local bands including Sponge Cola, Parokya ni Edgar, and Bamboo. Because of last year’s massive success, the event is set to happen again this 2018.
