Penang Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2017

This 2-day event is specially brought to you again by the Penang State Government for visitors to have a one-of-a-kind experience. The inaugural HAB Fiesta held during the Year of Festivals 2015, saw over 100,000 visitors from around the region and abroad. There were 15 hot air balloons floating above and displayed, with special shaped ones such as Trump, Darth Vader and Humpty Dumpty. Visitors made a long beeline to the ticketing booths for their tethered rides from as early as 2am. All that waiting for the awesome tethered ride was worth the while claimed most of them.

What's in store for the upcoming HAB Fiesta?

Aside from the balloon displays, there will surely be ‘night glow’ shows, free flying balloons and cold inflation where anyone can walk into a balloon envelope that’s filled with cold air as it lies on the ground. Other side activities and entertainment will also be organised throughout the event. Further details on the number of balloons, balloonists, special shaped balloons and so forth will be updated here soon. Stay tuned!
