Okeechobee, Florida – The time is now! Catch the Brighton Field Day Festival, February 16-18th. Get ready for a weekend full of fun and extreme events! The “Granddad” of the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s festivals, and one of the longest-running Native festivals in the United States.  Started out as a one-day track and field-type event among the Seminole tribal members and has evolved into the current three-day event sharing Florida Seminole Culture and authentic Seminole food with the public.
