2025 Tournament of Knights

July 26th, 2025 | Sheridan County Fairgrounds [Sheridan, Wyoming]

Take a step back in time and join us for the romance and pageantry of the Renaissance era... Where Lords, Ladies, and gentlefolk of similar ilk gathered together to watch the Knights of the Realm battle it out in the list while artisans and craftsmen gathered to sell their wares and showcase their trade. Hand-to-hand combat displayed their cunning with swords and shield on the ground, while the thunder of hooves from the joust drew them all in for the ultimate show of skill and thrills—the winner declared "The Defender of the Realm" by the King and Queen.

Come experience a family-friendly festival in the heart of the Wild West that is Sheridan, Wyoming!
