Schützenfest Husum

SV Husum 1932

The Schützenverein Husum von 1932 is a traditional club in the municipality of Husum in the Nienburg/Weser district.

Husum in the Nienburg District — Not to be Confused with Schleswig-Holstein

Important: The municipality of Husum in the Nienburg/Weser district is not to be confused with the well-known town of Husum in Schleswig-Holstein. The Lower Saxony Husum is a separate, smaller municipality on the Mittelweser, belonging to the Mittelweser collective municipality.

Schützenhaus Zum Sportplatz 49

The venue is the Schützenhaus on Zum Sportplatz 49 street — its own club grounds, which also shows its connection to the sports club neighborhood in its name. Shooting ranges, club house, and festival meadow provide the necessary infrastructure for a Schützenfest.

Spring Tradition in April

Unlike most North German Schützenfeste, which take place in the summer months of June to August, the Husum festival follows an unusual spring tradition in April. The last known date was April 28-29, 2018. This early date often makes the Husum festival the first Schützenfest of the year in the Mittelweser collective municipality, thus marking a special season opener.

Program Tradition

Even though the exact date for 2026 has not yet been officially confirmed, the festival will follow the classic North German Schützenfest tradition as usual: King's shooting, festival parade, King's dinner, dance evening, family program. Friendly clubs from the Mittelweser collective municipality will participate in the festival parade.
