Brighton Field Day Festival

Written by

The time is now! The 84th Brighton Field Day Festival has officially kicked off February 17-19th. 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.

Watch the best alligator wranglers in the Freestyle Alligator Wrestling Competitions (FAWC) face off with wild alligators. While experiencing the Seminole culture you’ll have access to many crafts, food, a concert, and PRCA rodeo shows including extreme bulls and much more! The Wrangler Network will be doing a live stream of the rodeo events. All ages are welcome. Purchase your tickets today!
