As is customary for Schützenfeste in the Teutoburger Wald, the festival includes a clear traditional program: bird shooting, election of the new king, proclamation of the new royal couple, parade through the district, King's dinner, dance evening with a live band, morning pint (Frühschoppen), and family day. The Schützen catering provides for guests throughout the three days.
