The 2013 Robin Hood Springtime Festival will be held in Guilford, CT on the weekends of May 18-19 and 25-26, and June 1-2.
It is our hope that our guests will share the same passion we discovered as children and be equally interested to learn about history, the performing arts, costuming, music, dance, and more. Learning aside, there are more stage-and-street shows than you can see in a day, shopping, food, games and plenty of other things to keep you busy on your mythical journey back in time.
