Three-day Schützenfest of SSV Adelheide from August 22 to 24, 2026 — King's proclamation on festival Monday at 7 p.m.
The Schützenfest of SSV Adelheide is one of three three-day Schützenfeste in the Ganderkeseer Schützenbund's festival calendar. From August 22 to 24, 2026, the Sports Shooters Association Adelheide will celebrate in the Adelheide district of the municipality of Ganderkesee — from Saturday to Monday.
Special feature of the festival: the proclamation of the new shooting kings and queens takes place not on Sunday, but on festival Monday at 7 p.m. Free admission to the public program.
The Sports Shooters Association Adelheide (SSV) is rooted in the Adelheide district and is one of the larger member associations of the Ganderkeseer Schützenbund. The federal shooting festival of the Schützenbund also takes place at the Adelheide shooting range at the end of May — making SSV infrastructurally central for the entire association.
With three festival days, the Adelheide Schützenfest follows the classic North German format of large Schützenfeste, where competition, social program, and family day unfold over several days. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday each have their own focus.
Unlike most associations in the Ganderkeseer Schützenbund, SSV Adelheide proclaims the new monarchs only on festival Monday — on August 24, 2026, at 7 p.m. This gives Monday the character of a third highlight day, on which the shooters, the outgoing court, and the festival guests gather once more.
The three-day Schützenfest 2026 of SSV Adelheide runs from August 22 to 24 in Adelheide (municipality of Ganderkesee). Classic North German Schützenfest with king's proclamation on festival Monday at 7 p.m. — a special feature that distinguishes the format from the Sunday conclusion of most other associations.
Free admission to the public program. Member association of the Ganderkeseer Schützenbund.
