USA Fencing’s summer roadshow returns with 45 free events in 23 states, inviting families everywhere to try fencing.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The countdown is on. From July 11 to 27, clubs across the country will fling open their doors — or roll out portable pistes at malls, farmers markets and town squares — for Fencing Across America 2025, the national open-house series that lets anyone sample the Olympic and Paralympic sport that delivered four Team USA medals in Paris last year.

“Last summer, we proved that when you bring fencing to the people, the people get hooked,” says USA Fencing CEO Phil Andrews, referring to last year’s edition of Fencing Across America, which brought the sport to places like Grand Central Terminal in New York. “By empowering our clubs to host their own activations in 2025, we’re growing the sport one neighborhood at a time.”

This year’s map stretches farther than ever: picture an intro clinic at Amity Fencing Club in Woodinville, Wash.; a public demo at Salt City Swords in Salt Lake City; an open house at Dunwoody Fencing Club outside Atlanta; and a community session with the Boston Fencing Club — with dozens of stops in between. 

In all, 45 activations cover every U.S. time zone across 23 states. The full, interactive map is live now; find the nearest event (or plan a mini-road trip) at this link.

What visitors can expect

  • No experience needed: Coaches supply the gear and guide you through the basics.
  • All three weapons — plus parafencing — on display: Watch, try, repeat.
  • A welcoming, family-friendly vibe: Perfect for kids, teens and parents who’ve only seen fencing in the movies.
