Schützenfest Hollen (Beverstedt) 2026

Schützenfest of the Hollen District

The Schützenfest Hollen is the annual club festival of the Schützenverein Hollen (Hollen Shooting Club) in the district of the same name within the municipality of Beverstedt. The venue is the Am Kiefernwald shooting range — as the name suggests, located on the edge of a pine forest, which gives the festival grounds their special atmosphere.

The 2026 event is expected to take place in June 2026. The exact date will be confirmed by the club in the spring — it is advisable to check biunsinnorden.de or the Cuxland event calendar before travelling.
