parasol Duelling
Sunday, 31 May 2026, HIGH NOON
Harbour Street
BYO parasol - for a mass duel on Harbour Street at High Noon!
Discover the ancient and honourable Victorian past-time of Parasol Duelling, a non-combat sport originating in Canada with remarkably similar rules to "rock paper sissors" but involving the use and postioning of parasols.
We will explain the rules, then open up the field for all to compete. In a most orderly fashion, contestants will be eliminated until the final four duellers remain. Spectators can cheer on their champion in the final play off.
Look for the spectacular Travelling Parasol Duelling Station, equipped with duelling parasols for the final contestants to use.
Note this is a non contact sport!
