Major event of the Barßel Shooting Association — Kreisschützenfest 2026 from September 5 to 7 in Harkebrügge
The Kreisschützenfest is a special type of festival in the world of shooting clubs: it unites the clubs of a shooting district for a joint grand festival, which is hosted by a different member club each year. In 2026, the Harkebrügge Shooting Club in the Harkebrügge district of Barßel is the host. Thus, the Kreisschützenfest 2026 continues a tradition that has been cultivated in the Barßel Shooting Association for decades.
The central event is the selection of the district king/queen, in which the reigning monarchs of the member clubs participate. In addition, there is the joint festive parade with brass bands, club banners, and royal households, a festive church service, the king's banquet, and dance evenings in the festival tent.
Harkebrügge is one of the districts of the municipality of Barßel and will take on the role of host for the entire shooting association family in 2026. The club members prepare the festival through months of work — from setting up the festival tent and catering to organizing the parade and accommodation for the participating clubs.
