Mounted knights charge each other in a jousting tournament.

The West Virginia Renaissance Festival is held every weekend in June at the Hollow Hills Farm, a 300-acre equestrian farm located near Lewisburg. The fairgrounds feature a reproduction medieval village with multiple stages for entertainers, a pond with mermaids and a sailing ship, a jousting field, and enchanted woods where fairies and other magical creatures dwell. Since the festival is held on a working farm, chickens roam about the grounds, especially in the dining areas, where they beg for treats from fairgoers. The presence of farm animals helps give the festival an authentic medieval atmosphere.
