Thousands of spectators usually watch the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC) in Wellington, Florida. In a normal year, more than 250,000 spectators visit PBIEC during the 13-week tour, with the “Saturday Night Lights” event particularly popular with fans. If you are unable to attend, there is a fully-produced live stream of “Saturday Night Lights” and other feature classes is available so you can follow all the action.
