Event Navigation
Saturday Night Lights dates for 2021 will be hosted monthly, with spectators permitted at all equestrian competitions as of May 3. All Summer Series Grand Prix competitions will be hosted at 8:00pm under the lights in Tryon Stadium
A typical Saturday Night Lights features a Grand Prix show jumping event where expert riders from all over the world guide horses around a course and over jumps almost 5 feet high, which is nearly the same level as at the Olympics! Riders that make it around the course successfully will return for the jump-off, a high stakes shortened course that determines who wins first place and the largest share of the prize money. Every week there will be face-painting, performers, free rides on the Venetian carousel and a live band – there is fun in store for guests of all ages! In the past there have been fire twirlers, acrobats, magicians, mechanical bull riding, sand-castle building, shag dancing competitions, vintage car shows and craft beer festivals.
