01Quién lo sigue

The American winter has two publics that overlap in Florida: the mountain one in Aspen for the holidays and the X Games, and the coastal one in Palm Beach and Miami from January to April, which is where the equestrian, boat-show, art-fair, polo and tennis calendars all sit. The Winter Equestrian Festival brings the international show-jumping world to Wellington for twelve weeks; the Miami and Palm Beach boat shows bring the trade; Cavallino brings the Ferrari collectors; the Miami Open brings tennis; the Masters, three hours north in Augusta, ends the winter in April.

02Por qué estos eventos se vinculan

Climate and proximity. Southern Florida is the one part of the United States where a winter outdoor season is possible, and Palm Beach and Miami are seventy miles apart, so the events cluster there from the first week of January to the Masters. Aspen is the mountain counterpart, joined to Florida by the people who spend Christmas in one and February in the other. The calendar is more American than international, but it overlaps the Caribbean yachting season and the winter art fairs, and the same faces appear on both.

05Calendario sugerido

The Palm Beach months are January to March, and any fortnight in them covers the equestrian festival's Saturday night grand prix classes plus a show or a fair. The third week of March, with the Palm Beach boat show and the Miami Open, is the busiest. Aspen's holiday fortnight is the most expensive lodging week of the American year and is booked the previous winter; late January, for the X Games, is the alternative.

06Solapamientos importantes

The Winter X Games share their weekend with Sundance, the Hahnenkamm and the Snow Polo World Cup. The Miami boat show falls beside the Palm Beach Show and the Berlinale. The Palm Beach boat show, the St. Barths Bucket and TEFAF Maastricht fall in the same week in March; the Miami Open's second week coincides with Art Basel Hong Kong and the Dubai World Cup. The Masters coincides with Watches and Wonders and the Monte-Carlo Masters.

07Adónde va la gente después

To Louisville for the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday of May, to New York for the Met Gala and the spring fairs, and then to Europe for Cannes and Monaco. The Florida season closes in April, and Palm Beach itself is quiet by Memorial Day.
