Volunteering can be fun
The Robin Hood Festival is 100% run by volunteers. We have over 300 volunteer spots that need to be filled for our Summer Festival including help with the parade barricades (Get a front row seat to the parade), with set-up and tear-down, selling souvenirs, helping in the beer garden, kids’ crafts, and the archery tournament, just to name a few!
All Summer volunteers will receive a $30 Bonus Bucks card from our Title Sponsor, Langer’s Entertainment Center. Go to robinhoodfestival.org/volunteers to sign up or reach out to us at robinhoodvolunteers@gmail.com if you would like more information on how you can help.
Community Parade
The theme this year is “Robin Hood Festival, The People’s Choice”. Set your
imagination free by wearing medieval style costumes and taking part in celebrating this honored tradition with your family friendly entries.
As always, our parade will honor our Grand Marshal. This year the Sherwood
Renaissance Singers, a group that has entertained at our annual festivals since the late 1990’s, accepted our invitation to be our 2026 Grand Marshal.

Early sign-ups are encouraged! If you have any questions please address them to robinhoodparade@gmail.com
