Before a jousting match, the jousters meet at the town hall
They form a parade through town with music (oboes and drums)
and flags and judges
to the royal canal. They say hello
And joust!
Two teams go at it until one (or both) jouster is unseated. The remaining jouster goes up against a new one on the other side.
Each boat has a line-up of jousters, as well as rowers and its own drummer and oboe player.
The Fête continues through Tuesday, when it closes with fireworks at the breakwater.
