About Sherwood Robinhood Festival:
The historic and picturesque town of Sherwood, Oregon welcomes you to the realm of the Robin Hood Festival, brought to you by Langer's Entertainment Center. One of the oldest and most unique community events in Oregon (est. 1954), our wondrous Festival normally attracts nearly 20,000 revelers of all ages each year in the summer.
With many fun activities both modern and medieval, the 71st annual Summer Festival is planned July 19-20, 2024. Our old-fashioned 2024 Summer Community Parade is planned Saturday, July 20, 2024 at 10 AM. Our Summer Parade winds its way through Sherwood annually, featuring Maid Marian and her Court, Robin Hood and his Merry Men and 70+ imaginative entries from far and wide, some competing for high honors. The Sylvan Archers' 69th annual International Archery Tournament with Nottingham, England (and associated local Archery events) is planned Saturday-Sunday, July 20-21, 2024.
There is always dancing in the streets (and many enjoying the beer garden nearby, brought to you by the Tack Room at Langer's), as well-known bands from the Pacific Northwest and featured entertainers take to our popular Summer Main Stage. The Family Stage in the Renaissance Village specializes in wonderfully creative, interactive performers to delight young and old, a traditional Knighting Ceremony, medieval re-enactments, stunts, swordplay & fencing lessons, clowns, magicians, alchemists, comedians, improvisation, a petting zoo, a climbing wall, music & dance, and appearances by Maid Marian and her Court, Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Be sure to enjoy the new Sherwood Village Stage, featuring traditional melodies. Special surprises throughout the grounds of the Festival, occupying the streets of Sherwood Old Town and an enchanting historical park, make your Festival experience one people of all ages have enjoyed for multiple generations.
Thousands of Summer Festival visitors wander every year through the extensive Vendor Village consisting of more than 100 booths, with a wide variety of shopping and activities to explore. 2024 Summer Festival vendor information and applications will be available on the Vendors Page early in 2024. (Note: Our Holiday Festival does not host vendor booths.) Multiple contestants demonstrate their creativity every year in the annual Castle Building Contest. Summer festivities also include a teen dance, kids crafts and play areas, plus plenty of delicious food, with our beer garden brought to you by the Tack Room at Langer's. Festival admission is FREE, including all entertainment on the Main, Family and Sherwood Village Stages (and so much more!) (Note: Vendors charge fees for various activities).
We welcome Sponsors for the Summer Festival and our year-round activities. Thank you to our 2023 Sponsors!!! There are many benefits to being a sponsor, including many ways we highlight and publicize our supporters. Sponsors contributing $350 (to be confirmed for 2024) or more are eligible to request a free standard booth at our Summer Festival (2024 sponsor information is not yet available). This is the perfect opportunity to sponsor treasured Sherwood traditions and dedicated community service efforts throughout the year. Visit the Sponsors Page for more information.
