Pentecost is Schützenfest Time
In many North German communities, Pentecost is the classic date for the big Schützenfest. The Bruchhausen-Vilsen marksmen's association also upholds this tradition and celebrates its club festival annually on the Pentecost weekend. For three days, bird shooting, dance evenings, the King's dinner, and the parade are the focus at the festival tent at the shooting range "Im Wiehe".
Shooting Range "Im Wiehe"
The shooting range "Im Wiehe" on the outskirts of Bruchhausen-Vilsen is the club's home. Club shooting events take place here all year round, and the large festival tent is set up here at Pentecost. The facility offers ample space for the festival tent, shooting ranges, and parking.
Programme Structure
The programme follows the classic cornerstones of a North German Schützenfest. On Pentecost Saturday, the assembly, bird shooting, and dance evening are the main events. Pentecost Sunday features a festival service, a morning pint, and the King's dinner. Pentecost Monday concludes the festival with a family day and a parade, after which the monarchs are proclaimed.
Bruchhausen-Vilsen Marksmen's Association
The Bruchhausen-Vilsen marksmen's association has been cultivating the marksmen's tradition in the municipality for many years and is active with voluntary commitment. Information at schuetzenverein-bruvi.de.
