Volks- und Schützenfest with Tradition
The Homby is deeply rooted in the town life of Stadtoldendorf. Over four festival days, the Ballisgraben fairground transforms into a large festival area with a main tent, amusement rides, shooting competitions, and stages. The city parade on Saturday, in which shooting clubs, brass bands, and affiliated clubs participate, is one of the most visible highlights.
Four Festival Days in Detail
On Friday, May 29, the festival begins at 3:00 PM with the official opening. From 9:00 PM, the tent party starts. Saturday, May 30, kicks off at 10:30 AM with the shooting competition. At 2:30 PM, the city parade winds through the town center. From 8:15 PM, the ball with the Hit Radio Show takes place in the festival tent – free admission. Sunday, May 31, features the family program starting at 2:30 PM. On Whit Monday, June 1, the Katervesper at 6:30 PM marks the festive conclusion (12 Euros including Cold Platters and 2 drinks), followed by a grand fireworks display.
