When: July 11, 2026
Where: St. Helena Heritage Park
Grande Parade Begins: 11:00 AM
‼️ PARTICIPANTS BE THERE BY 9:00 AM ‼️
Armored Combat Events: 1:30 PM – 6:30 PM
‼️ COMBATANT CHECK-IN: 10:00 AM ‼️
The DeathWatch Knights and Equis Equi Spiritus are proud to be participating in this year's Olde Canal Festival, and we're inviting you to join us for a day of history, excitement, and full-contact armored combat!
We'll kick off the day with the Grande Parade before heading straight to the list for an afternoon of steel-on-steel action. These fights are LIVE—no scripts, no predetermined outcomes. Once the gates close, anything can happen!
Alongside our traditional knight-versus-knight matchups, we'll be featuring special themed battles to help celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States.
The fun isn't just for the fighters! There will be interactive games with the knights, creation stations, trinkets, demonstrations, and plenty of opportunities for the crowd to get involved throughout the day.
Whether you come dressed in medieval garb or sporting your best red, white, and blue, we hope you'll come out and celebrate with us. For those interested in stepping onto the field, we welcome anyone who wants to learn more about the sport and experience armored combat firsthand.
Bring your friends, bring your family, and prepare for a day of armor, history, and unforgettable medieval entertainment!
