Please see our Special Announcement regarding ongoing planning for 2020 Festival events, as we maintain an awareness of the COVID-19 virus.  At this time, all July 2020 events are still planned.  Please continue to submit Knighting nominations for 2020, due May 1, following the instructions below.

Knighting ~ A Robin Hood Festival Tradition

Each year, several Sherwood citizens are chosen to be honored for their service to their community.  Each person is "knighted" at the Robin Hood Festival by Maid Marian and then earns the title of "Sir" or "Lady".

The Robin Hood Festival Knighting Committee is seeking nominations for people to be honored at this year's festival. They are looking for people who are long time volunteers in our community, outstanding citizens who go out of their way to help others and folks who make our town and our world a better place. In the past, some of the knighted people have been very well known citizens of Sherwood, others have been folks who quietly made a positive difference to their community.

If you know of someone whom you would like to nominate, please send an email or letter with the following information: *Your name, email address and phone number. *The name of the person to be nominated with their email address, mailing address and/or phone number, *Information about the person's service to the community and why you feel this person should be be selected. It is helpful to have this description be as full as possible so that the committee can get a sense of the extent of this person's service.

Knightee nominations will be accepted until May 1, 2020.  They may be submitted to robinhoodfestival@gmail.com or be received at Sherwood Robin Hood Festival Association, P.O. Box 496, Sherwood, Oregon 97140 by the May 1, 2020 deadline.

The 2020 Knighting Ceremony will be held Friday, July 17 at 6 PM at the Family Stage in Veteran's Park in Old Town Sherwood, with the Sherwood Renaissance Singers providing musical entertainment beginning at 5:45 PM.

Knighting is an age-old tradition at the Festival.  Over 400 people have been knighted in ceremonies spanning 3 decades.
