WATER JOUSTS AND FLEA MARKET - 42nd EDITION OF THE BULEY NIGHTS

The water joust of Namur, which commemorates the jousts practised by the medieval boatmen, mixes sports and folk competitions. Costumes, music and combats, according to the old rules makes this a colourful event. Every year since 1974, this tradition relives on the Meuse, on the second Sunday of August and puts the two traditional teams against each other: the inhabitants of Plante and those of Jambes. Each team consists of 4 jousters, 8 paddlers, a drummer and a helmsman. The combat occurs in quarter finals, semi-finals and finally the final. He who stays the last on the upper deck of the skiff or touches the water last, is declared the winner of a joust. The winner at the end of the tournament becomes "King of the jousters".
