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".

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

The deadline for submitting nominations to the Knighting Committee has passed.  Thank you to those of you who submitted nominations.

The traditional opening knighting ceremony will start off the 65th Anniversary Festival with flair and pageantry Friday, July 19, 2019 at 6 PM at the Family Stage in Veterans Park in Old Town.

The Maid Marian Court, Robin Hood and his Merry Men and a variety of costumed villagers are always a part of the ceremony, with the Sherwood Renaissance Singers beginning their performance at 5:45 PM. The winner of the annual Medallion Hunt will also be announced as a part of this ceremony.
