100th Schützen- und Volksfest Loga

When a Schützenverein (marksmen's club) turns 100, it's an occasion for a special celebration. The Schützenverein Loga, founded in 1926, looks back on a century of club history in 2026 and celebrates this from September 4th to 9th with a Schützen- und Volksfest that pulls out all the stops.

A Hundred Years of Club Tradition

The history of the Schützenverein Loga is also a piece of the history of the Loga district in Leer. In the hundred years since its founding, the club has supported social development, preserved traditions, and repeatedly inspired new generations for the marksmen's sport. The anniversary honors this continuity while also looking forward.

Six Days of Festival Program

The festival week spans six days, significantly longer than the usual duration of a Schützenfest. This extension reflects the anniversary character and allows for a particularly rich program. Various sources mention both September 4th to 6th (the core program) and September 4th to 9th (the overall program) – the exact daily focuses will be communicated by the club on-site.

Schützenplatz as Festival Center

The Schützenplatz Leer-Loga serves as the festival center. A large festival tent, rides for the whole family, food and drink stalls, and the club rooms create the infrastructure for the festival week. The area is designed to accommodate thousands of visitors.

Marksmen's Traditions

Marksmen's parades (Schützenausmärsche), the proclamation of the king, and festive processions are part of the classic repertoire of a Schützenfest and will also be duly celebrated in Loga. The king or queen for the anniversary year will bear a very special responsibility – they will represent the club in its 100th year.

Volksfest Character

Beyond the club traditions, the festival has a distinct Volksfest character. Rides and carousels for children, high-speed attractions for teenagers and adults, all kinds of showman's businesses – the festival is also a magnet for visitors who have no direct connection to the club but appreciate the East Frisian Volksfest experience.
