When did jousting die out?

Jousting began to decline in popularity during the late 16th century, largely due to changes in warfare and the rise of firearms, which rendered the heavy armor used in jousting obsolete. By the 17th century, it had largely transformed into a more ceremonial and spectator sport, eventually becoming a part of festivals and pageants rather than a military training exercise.
