The art of Fencing has been around since the Ancient Era of history. It was a form of sword combat that evolved into one of the earliest Olympic sports in 1896.


With European roots, the sport has grown across America, and it has now made its way into Crestview with Unity Fencing Academy.

Saturday March 28 is a busy weekend in the city of Crestview. To start, the Triple B Festival makes it return to Main St starting at 11:00 a.m.
