Schützenfest Katlenburg

Shooting Tradition as a Summer Festival

Unlike many classic Schützenfeste (shooting festivals) that span several days, the Schützenfest Katlenburg is a concentrated one-day event. The Schützenverein Katlenburg invites you on June 20, 2026, from 2 p.m. for a convivial afternoon and evening with all the traditional elements of a Schützenfest in a condensed format.

Club Life and Village Community

The Schützenverein Katlenburg is one of the traditional institutions in the district. The Schützenfest is the highlight of the club's year and an opportunity for the village community to come together, make new acquaintances, and maintain old friendships. Friendly clubs from neighboring towns are welcome and liven up the festival with reciprocal visits.

Program Highlights

The program typically includes the bird shooting (Vogelschießen), where the shooting king or queen is determined, social gatherings with sausages and cool drinks, live music or DJ sets in the late afternoon and evening, and the traditional festive ceremony.

Summer Atmosphere in the Afternoon

The start at 2 p.m. allows families to visit the festival in a relaxed summer afternoon atmosphere without having to plan the whole day. Children usually find small activities, while adults can follow the club's events or simply chat with acquaintances.

Katlenburg-Lindau as a Venue
