| Description: | From Summer Festival Website: With many fun activities both modern and medieval, next year's Summer Festival fills the streets of Old Town Sherwood Friday-Saturday, July 14-15, 2017, with the International Archery Tournament with Nottingham, England Saturday-Sunday, July 15-16, 2017. Our old-fashioned Community Parade winds its way through Sherwood Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 10 AM, featuring Maid Marian and her Court, Robin Hood and his Merry Men and many imaginative entries from far and wide, some competing for high honors.
There will be dancing in the streets (and many enjoying the beer & wine garden nearby), as several well-known bands from the Pacific Northwest take to our popular Main Stage. The Family Stage in the Renaissance Village features wonderfully creative acts to delight young and old, a traditional Knighting Ceremony, medieval re-enactments, swordplay, jugglers, magicians, comedians, music & dance, and appearances by Maid Marian and her Court, Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
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. Everyone will enjoy performances of a children's musical by Sherwood's Voices for the Performing Arts Friday and Saturday nights. People young and old can demonstrate their creativity in the annual Castle Building Contest. Festivities will also include a teen dance, kids crafts and play areas, plus plenty of delicious food, with a beer and wine 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).
