The Sherwood Holiday Festival & Tree Lighting Ceremony ~ A Community Celebration

The Sherwood Holiday Festival is a wonderful annual community celebration. The 2022 Holiday Festival will take place Saturday, December 3, 2022 (rain or shine) starting at 4 PM (until approximately 6:15 PM), with a parade winding through downtown Sherwood and festivities in Cannery Square Park and Old Town. Be sure to visit Old Town prior to the parade to enjoy shopping and dining. The generosity of local sponsors makes the Holiday Festival possible, a gift to the community every year through the efforts of the non-profit Sherwood Robin Hood Festival Association and other local organizations and businesses. The Holiday Festival takes place annually on the first Saturday of December.

Would you like to Volunteer?

Volunteers are ALWAYS welcome for this event. We especially welcome any and all volunteers to help with setup and breakdown. Just email robinhoodfestival@gmail.com or call 503-625-4233 to let us know you are interested. If you would simply like to stop by Cannery Square to help, we will be setting up in Old Town (and having fun decorating) starting at approximately 12:30 PM on Dec. 3, until about 3 PM. It's wonderful when people spontaneously help us break down the event (starting at about 6:15-6:30 PM) because we all get it done much faster! Even a few minutes of your time can help!
