There is indeed jousting. But only for those few who have the equipment, horse, and training.
I just looked up Sterling's Faire. They have changed the dates! It now runs through August and most of September. I have hope! I so want to go. I have been thinking about it for months. September is a better time than mid summer, so it is good to see the change.

ETA: Well, I was wrong. The Ren Faire I was looking up online is for the one that is south of Woodbury in Tuxedo Park, NY, not the one I normally go to which is in Sterling NY. The Sterling, NY one is still in the hot days of July and August. I would consider the other one, but it is 5 1/2 hours away instead of one hour away, which means it is definitely a no go. Ah well.
For anyone who is interested, here is a link to the
Sterling, NY Ren Faire.
And here is a link to the
New York Ren Faire in Tuxedo Park, NY.
