Whether you crave a quick snack between activities or a full meal while you people‑watch, you will find plenty to keep every member of your party happily fed.

Live Music, Parade Magic, and Archery Action

Across multiple stages, live music fills the streets from Friday evening through Saturday night, with everything from upbeat bands near the beer and cider garden to family‑friendly performances in Veterans’ Park.

Archery fans will not want to miss the Sylvan Archers’ tournament starting at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, where skilled competitors channel Sherwood’s most famous outlaw with every arrow.
