- This time, the competition is open to the public and anyone 21 and older can sign up in advance to joust.
Pro tip: Costumes are heavily encouraged, but no long capes, dresses or "anything that can get caught in the 'horse' wheels," per organizers.
📍 Details: Sunday at 8806 Seventh Ave. N, Golden Valley. Advance sign-ups required — call or visit the brewery in person to do so.
- Jousting begins at 1pm; participants must be checked in by 12:45. Free!
