Schützenfest of SV Hengsterholz-Havekost on June 13th and 14th, 2026 in the municipality of Ganderkesee — King proclamation on Sunday evening
The Schützenfest of SV Hengsterholz-Havekost is part of the festival calendar of the Ganderkesee Schützenbund (marksmen's association). In 2026, the weekend of June 13th and 14th will be celebrated in the districts of Hengsterholz-Havekost (municipality of Ganderkesee). The focus is on the King proclamation on Sunday evening at 7 p.m.
The club is one of the twelve members of the Ganderkesee Schützenbund and continues the tradition of North German marksmen's customs: target shooting (Vogelschießen), festive procession, King's dinner, and dance evening characterize the weekend.
SV Hengsterholz-Havekost is rooted in the district of the same name in the municipality of Ganderkesee and is part of the Ganderkesee Schützenbund. Its annual Schützenfest is the cultural and social highlight for the local community.
The weekend follows the classic structure: target shooting (Vogelschießen) and King's shooting on Saturday, festive procession, family day, and King proclamation on Sunday. A festival tent at the Schützenheim (marksmen's club house) provides space for the social program items.
On Sunday at 7 p.m., the new monarch of the club will be proclaimed. The King's chain will be handed over, and the new court will be led to the King's dinner — the emotional highlight of the weekend.
With the date June 13th/14th, 2026, the Hengsterholz-Havekost festival falls between the Schützenfeste of SV Schönemoor (June 6th/7th) and SV Annenheide (June 20th/21st). The complete season calendar is documented through the regional press.
