The Schützenfest Reekenfeld-Kamperfehn is the traditional summer festival of the marksmen's family in the district of the same name in the municipality of Barßel. The King's shooting will take place on July 11, 2026, followed by the three-day festival from July 17 to 19, 2026.

In 2025, the festival saw an innovation with the first appearance of a mounted fanfarenzug (brass band) on the new King's throne – a tradition that will continue in 2026. The festival combines classic marksmen's customs with a family-friendly atmosphere and is a meeting point for the entire village community.
