SHERWOOD ROBIN HOOD FESTIVAL ~ SUMMER 2021 CANCELLATION ~ HOLIDAY FESTIVAL PLANNED DEC. 4
NOTE: The Annual Medallion Hunt is underway and still taking place. See clues below!
The Sherwood Robin Hood Festival Association has been actively pursuing and planning for a safe Robin Hood Festival that would allow our community to come together for some relaxation and fun in September. After several weeks of monitoring the dire COVID-19 situation around our state, the Sherwood Robin Hood Festival Association Board has decided to cancel the 2021 Sherwood Robin Hood Festival.
It is with heavy heart that we have had to cancel the festival but thinking about the health and welfare of our friends, family, and our city, this is the right choice. We know that this will sadden many people, as it does us, as well as the financial impacts to our sponsors, vendors, entertainers, and the city, but after reviewing all the guidelines, we feel that we could not keep everyone safe and still have a festival.
The Robin Hood Festival Association is actively pursuing and planning on a safe Holiday Festival on December 4th, 2021. We are very hopeful that we will be able to provide our annual Holiday Festival safely, without interruption, and that we can come together as a community for some fun to start the holiday season.
We would like to thank the City of Sherwood, all our Sponsors, Vendors, and the people of Sherwood for your patience and support. We are looking forward to the 2022 Sherwood Robin Hood Festival. In the meantime, please do what is right for you and your family to remain safe and healthy.

Note: Local Archery events associated with the 2021 Festival dates have been cancelled.
The annual quest for the Hidden Medallion has begun. Below you will find Clues #1-3. The treasure you seek is somewhere in the Sherwood realm. When found, contact us at robinhoodfestival@gmail.com or leave a message at 503-625-4233.

Sherwood, Oregon Robin Hood Festival ~ Established 1954

The historic and picturesque town of Sherwood, Oregon welcomes you to the realm of the Robin Hood Festival. One of the oldest and most unique community events in Oregon (est. 1954), our wondrous Festival and international archery tournament normally attract nearly 20,000 revelers of all ages each year in the summer.
With many fun activities both modern and medieval, the annual Summer Festival will not take place in 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions. Our next Summer Festival is planned the 3rd Weekend of July, 2022. The International Archery Tournament with Nottingham, England (and any associated local Archery events) will not be held in 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions. Our old-fashioned Summer Community Parade will resume in 2022, with a Holiday Parade planned in Dec. 4, 2021. 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.
There is always dancing in the streets (and many enjoying the beer & wine garden nearby), as well-known bands from the Pacific Northwest and featured entertainers take to our popular Summer Main Stage (resuming in 2022) The Family Stage (resuming in 2022) in the Renaissance Village specializes in wonderfully creative, interactive performers to delight young and old, a traditional Knighting Ceremony (stay tuned for more information on 2021 Knighting), 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. 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. Information for our 2022 Summer Festival will be posted to the Vendors Page by March 2022. Everyone enjoys performances by Sherwood's Voices for the Performing Arts in Cannery Square Park (stay tuned for 2022 details). Multiple contestants demonstrate their creativity every year in the annual Castle Building Contest (resuming in 2022). Summer festivities also include a teen dance, kids crafts and play areas, plus plenty of delicious food, with a beer/wine/cider garden featuring selections from local wineries and breweries. Festival admission is FREE, including all entertainment on the Main and Family Stages (excludes Voices for the Performing Arts performance, for which tickets must be purchased - vendors also charge fees for various activities).
We welcome Sponsors for our year-round activities. There are many benefits to being a sponsor, including many ways we highlight and publicize our supporters. 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.
