Spectator Info

Horse Shows by the Bay Equestrian Festival
is a prestigious multi-week competition featuring thousands of the nation's best horses competing in show jumping, dressage, equitation, and hunters. 

Spectators are welcome on most weekends from 8am - 5pm or until close.  All other days are closed to the General Public. 

All events are $10/day/person, except on Kid's & Family Day where admission is free.  Admission fee includes on-site parking and access to all five competition rings, vendors, and concession area.

Spectators are encouraged to wear sensible walking shoes as the terrain is undulating.  Handicapped areas are limited.  Seating is bleacher and picnic style with and with-out cover.  Events will be conducted "rain or shine" unless severe weather warrants cancellation; no refunds on admission fees.  Dogs are not allowed.  Please keep to designated spectator areas.
