Volunteer outdoors, be entertained, enjoy fellowship, camp out and get perks for next year’s Sherwood Forest Faire in McDade, Texas. Gatherings are a Sherwood tradition dating back to 2008, when the land was first purchased. These open to the public, free of charge, community-building events tend to follow a template.

Friday nights, enjoy live music at the Trip to Jerusalem Pub. Saturday mornings, volunteers help around the faire site with tasks such as touching up paint, trimming trees, tending gardens, etc., with a pizza lunch served to those who helped that afternoon. Saturday evenings we typically have a pot luck dinner, a bonfire, fire dancers, and drummers as we commune into the wee hours. Sundays the site closes by noon.

Although these events in June, August and December are free and there is nothing to purchase, organizers encourage you to bring a small amount of cash to tip the performers and bartenders.
