The Schützenfest Sandkrug is one of the larger club festivals in the municipality of Hatten. In the district of Hatten-Sandkrug, the Schützenverein Sandkrug (marksmen's club) is organizing a three-day weekend with a classic marksmen's program from Friday, July 10 to Sunday, July 12, 2026.
Friday starts with the Dämmerschoppen (evening get-together), during which the proclamation of the Ortspokalschießen (local trophy shooting competition) takes place. On Saturday, the festival grounds open at 2 p.m. with a carousel, shooting ranges, children's program, and face painting. Sunday is dedicated to the grand parade, followed by the Schützenball (marksmen's ball) to conclude the festival.
The Schützenverein Sandkrug is rooted in the Hatten-Sandkrug district of the municipality of Hatten. Sandkrug is located in the southern part of the municipality and is home to an active club with its own clubhouse and festival grounds.
The kick-off on Friday, July 10, 2026, is the Dämmerschoppen. As part of this traditional opening evening, the proclamation of the Ortspokalschießen will take place — the best individual or team from the local clubs or shooting classes will be honored.
On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the festival grounds open at 2 p.m. Program: Carousel for children, shooting ranges, children's program, face painting. This positions Sandkrug as a family-friendly Schützenfest that involves the younger generation.
