We are a festival to inspire education among our youth and communities in Louisiana and enhance the cultural event encouraged by the ancient tournaments of Europe. As an entertainment festival, our association depicts the unique jousting event associated with a fellow festival in our city to portray the seven enemies of cotton. This event shows talent among the riders to show sportsmanship, confidence, and leadership. The knights are in competition for a championship to some capacity. These riders, their families, their supporters, and our community encourage sportsmanship, engaged spirit, and volunteer to coordinate this special festival to carry on and withhold the culture of who have made up our historical heritage of our ancestral settlers. In addition to this festival, we have a competition among young ladies that vow their dedication to our association to help promote our endeavors. Our queen is chosen to represent our Tournoi association and reign over our festival with our current champion. The association consists of 20 to 40 members with an association board of nine members that assist in preparation for our Festival Events and many educational functions presented throughout the year. At the festival, concessions or sold to raise money for St. Judes Children's Hospital for donations. Also, we help promote our tourism among our parish, district, state, and community to create an educational aspect of our unique cultural competition of the festival of Le Festival de' la Tournoi of Ville Platte.
