Huge, colorful hot air balloons once again lit up the night at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, as part of the annual music and balloon festival.

Families, couples, and tourists flocked to the venue to witness the popular “Night Glow,” where full-sized and balloons shaped uniquely came to life under the stars.

Some of the crowd favorites included a playful Angry Bird balloon, a giant rocket ship, and a fairytale-like castle — all glowing brightly and dancing to music in the background.

“A treat to ourselves, stress kami sa work. Let’s relax, chill now. It’s my first time, it’s exciting to see the hot air,” Janelle Jacinto, one of the festival goers, said.

“Actually first time ko ito, thanks to my husband,” Rachelle Termulo, another festival goer, added.

“Maganda and masaya,” Ton Dungca, another festival goer, said.

Mini controlled balloons also brought joy, especially to children, while live music performances by OPM icons fired up the night even more.

Flashlights waved in unison from the crowd, and confetti and cheers filled the venue.

The grand finale — a dazzling fireworks show that made the night even more unforgettable.

According to organizers, around 160,000 people joined the two-day event this year, making it one of their biggest yet.
