The honourable knight’ s contest consists of contestants ( called alkar ) being dressed in their centennial vestments , on horseback who gallop along trying to hit a central ring – the alka . This tournament is treated as a moving cultural monument , and the alkari prepare themselves all through the year for the show which takes place in August in front of about ten thousand spectators .

To časno viteško nadmetanje alkara koji u stoljetnim odorama , na konjima u trku gađaju cilj - alku , tretirano je kao pokretni spomenik kulture , a alkari i konji cijelu se godinu pripremaju za taj spektakl koji se pred desetak tisuća gledatelja održava svake godine u drugom tjednu kolovoza .
