Schützenfest Klein Twülpstedt

Klein Twülpstedt — District of Groß Twülpstedt

Klein Twülpstedt is a district of the municipality of Groß Twülpstedt in the municipality of Velpke. The small, village-like settlement thrives on its intact club life and close-knit community. The Schützenfest is the undisputed highlight of the year here.

Shooting Club and Fire Brigade as Organizers

The organizers are jointly the Schützenverein and the Feuerwehr Klein Twülpstedt — a proven constellation of carriers in many small Lower Saxony villages. They bundle commitment, manpower, and voluntary work. The dual carrier system ensures that the festival can be organized annually even in a small village like Klein Twülpstedt.

Pentecost as Festival Date

The Pentecost weekend is the traditional date for the big Schützenfest in many shooting clubs. The warm weather at the end of May and the long public holiday create ideal conditions for three days of celebration.

King's Shooting and King's Proclamation

The king's shooting is the centerpiece of every Schützenfest. Whoever takes the best shot becomes the new shooting king and, with his court, leads the club's social life for a year. The festive king's proclamation is one of the emotional highlights of the festival weekend.

Festival Tent and Dance Evening

The evening dance events take place in the festival tent. With a live band or DJ and catering, the social gathering becomes a highlight. Friendly clubs from neighboring towns also come by and enhance the festive atmosphere.

Morning Pint and Family Day

On Whit Sunday and, if applicable, Whit Monday, the focus is on the morning pint and family program. With brass music, catering, children's shooting, bouncy castle, and games, the day is family-oriented.
