“In the Name of Saint George! II” returns this year as 2 day event – featuring Longsword, Saber and Rapier & Dagger tournaments, July 25 – 26, 2026.

Saint George, the legendary warrior-saint and dragon slayer stands as a timeless symbol and example of courage, chivalry and unwavering resolve in the face of adversity. For centuries, Saint George has been the patron saint of knights, warriors, fencers and those who take up arms for honor, defense and virtue. Our tournament “In the Name of Saint George” is a celebration of those knightly virtues that Saint George embodies and is not just a contest of arms but also a tribute to the chivalric spirit of discipline, respect and valor that defines the martial traditions of Europe. He slew the dragon, he died a martyr. In his name we compete, not for glory alone but to carry forward a legacy of skill, honor and virtue.
