LETHBRIDGE:  It’s known as the most dangerous sport in history and Southern Albertans will get a chance to take in the only performance in Western Canada this year.

Knights of Valour, a full metal jousting tournament has been booked for Exhibition Park on August 13th.

The tournament reaches back to medieval event times and  will include eight to ten knights in full costume, who will joust in a tournament.

 Marketing Manager Doug Kryzanowski says  these types of medieval events are extremely popular and it’s something new for Exhibition Park.

The event includes a feast, with a theatrical performance, including  Sarah Cosner, who tells story through dance and comedy from Zoltan “The Adequate”.

After the feast and performance, the Knights of Glory are introduced and they finish the event with a full contact jousting tournament. A champion is chosen at the end of the tournament.
