Slaughterama :: Live Music, Unicycle Jousting, & More

4:20 PM - 10:00 PM | West Asheville, NC

Saturday, July 18, 2026

SLAUGHTERAMA is part jousting tournament, part West Asheville neighborhood party, part underground music fest, and 100% chaos.

Watch brave competitors battle for eternal glory in our Anything-With-Wheels Jousting Tournament, where bikes, skateboards, unicycles, roller skates, scooters, weird homemade contraptions, and whatever else you can somehow ride are all welcome in the arena.

The event is donation-based, so please grab a ticket; we suggest $10-$20 per ticket to help support local live music and fun neighborhood events.
