Schützenfest Meerbusch-Osterath

During the pause year 2025, the HSB Osterath kept the association traditions alive with smaller events — from traditional shooting competitions to 'Tanz in den Mai'. The organized preparations for the main festival in 2026 already began in autumn 2025 with the election of Paul I. from the Rote Friderizianer shooting club as king. The two-year cycle allows the association to organize the main festival with particular care and effort — featuring elaborate parades, a comprehensive festival tent programme, and a proclamation of the king that shapes the entire association life for two years.
