Friday – Sunday, October 10 – 12 – Days of Knights III, Cove Springs Park, 100 Cove Spring Park Road

Days of Knights – A Medieval Experience was conceived as a publicity tool for an archery range and quickly grew to something far more than that. In 2011, the City of Frankfort’s Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Sites was putting the finishing touches on its new archery range at… Cove Spring Archery Park. The Department’s curator of historic sites suggested that a medieval themed archery demonstration event might help bring attention to the new facility, taking advantage of the current popularity of numerous movies and television shows with medieval themes. The concept of the event grew rapidly as more and more living history components were added to the basic idea.

With generous support from the Frankfort Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Sites and the Frankfort/ Franklin County Tourism and Convention Commission, Days of Knights became an educational and entertaining medieval living history event at which historical accuracy is emphasized.

The first Days of Knights event was held at Frankfort’s Cove Spring Archery Park in October, 2012. The three-day event attracted about a hundred costumed participants and some 5000 spectators, which delighted local parks and tourism staff members. Days of Knights had been planned as a one-off event, but its popularity with enthusiastic participants soon led to planning for a repeated event. Under the leadership of Daniel Peterson, the 2013 Days of Knights weekend was held at Oak Grove, Kentucky – near Fort Campbell – in October of that year. The turnout of fascinated spectators was even greater than that in Frankfort the year before. In 2014, Days of Knights returns to Frankfort. Plans now call for the event to be in Frankfort every other year with another locale – presumably Oak Grove – hosting it in the alternate years.

This is a FREE and FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT.
