For the past several years, during the last weekend of the eight weekend long event, Sherwood Forest Faire has replaced their usual jousting show (performed by the New Riders of the Golden Age) with an actual competitive jousting tournament. This year, two of the eight weekends will include competitive jousting tournaments as part of the entertainment.

The first competitive joust will take place during the 4th weekend of the faire, February 28 - March 1, and the season finale Sherwood Forest Faire Jousting Tournament will take place, as usual, on the last weekend of the faire, March 28 - 29. Last year's tournament was won by the leader of the New Riders of the Golden Age, David Schade. It will be exciting to see who wins this year's tournaments.

This year's competitions will again include jousters from David Schade's New Riders of the Golden Age (the faire's home troupe) as well as jousters from Charlie Andrews' jousting troupe, Knights of Mayhem. You may remember Charlie and his troupe from the National Geographic tv series Knights of Mayhem.

In addition, there will be several free-lance jousters – jousters unaffiliated with a specific troupe – participating in the competition, including Joshua Warren who teaches at the faire's own Sherwood Knights Academy.
The faire takes place at 1883 Old Hwy 20, McDade TX 78650, USA (see directions). You can find out more about the faire on the Sherwood Forest Faire website and Facebook page.
