Green Velo

Szydłów moves back in time to the Middle Ages for a while. Knights joust, demonstrating their prowess in battle; highwaymen attack and rob.

All that takes place accompanied by the smell of gunpowder and the reek of burning thatch. The Chivalric Tournament for King Casimir the Great"s Sword is organised to commemorate the victorious skirmish between King Casimir the Great"s army and the then owner of the place, the outlawed Szydło. The crème de la crème of Polish knighthood flock to Szydłów, in order to fight the battle for the castle and sword of King Casimir the Great, sparing neither blood nor sweat at Castle Square. Apart from the military attractions of the Tournament, there will also be old and regional arts and crafts shows as well as delicacies of the local cuisine.
