Annual Children's Schützenfest of the Brome Marksmen's Association in Summer 2026
The Brome Marksmen's Association (Schützenverein Brome e.V.) places particular emphasis on youth and junior development. The Kinderschützenfest is an expression of this commitment: on a summer day, children playfully experience what it means to be part of the marksmen's tradition. From child-friendly shooting with air rifles or foam darts to the festive proclamation of the Children's King or Queen, including games, dancing, and music, the festival offers a complete Schützenfest experience in a family-friendly format.
The Kinderschützenfest is part of Brome's rich festival culture, which also includes the main Schützenfest, the Jägerausmarsch, and the trophy shoot of the Alte Gilde. The association and village community come together when parents and grandparents organize the festival as volunteers, passing on the tradition across generations.
The venue, Brome, is a historic market town in the north of the Gifhorn district, bordering Saxony-Anhalt. Brome Castle, the half-timbered town center, and the mill characterize the townscape. Its location in the Bromer Ländchen region connects the Wendland with the Lüneburg Heath and offers attractive excursion destinations for families.
Unlike the larger Schützenfeste with evening dances and late-night catering, the Kinderschützenfest focuses on a family-friendly atmosphere. The event concludes in good time, has limited alcohol availability, and is specifically aimed at the youngest association members and children from the village community.
The 2026 Kinderschützenfest continues the association's annual tradition. The Schützenplatz is prepared in a child-friendly manner, with game stations, a bouncy castle, face painting, and age-appropriate shooting ranges. The youngest association members compete against each other in several age groups, vying for the title of Children's King or Queen of the year.
Parents and grandparents are invited as helpers and guests, contributing to the festive atmosphere. The proclamation of the new monarchs takes place in a solemn ceremony, followed by a small parade around the Schützenplatz. The day usually ends in the late afternoon, so that the youngest can also enjoy the festive day to the fullest.
The exact program for 2026 will be published by the organizer in the spring. The structure will follow the proven key points of previous years:
