Weyhausen – A Community in the Boldecker Land
Weyhausen is a community of approximately 2,100 residents in the Boldecker Land municipality, located in the southern Gifhorn district. Its proximity to Wolfsburg and Gifhorn makes it an attractive place to live. The annual Schützenfest is one of the village's most important social events.
Weyhausen Shooting Club
The Weyhausen Shooting Club is the organizer of the festival and the heart of a vibrant club life. Like many shooting clubs in the region, it fosters competitive shooting, social gatherings, and the tradition of the annual Schützenfest. Shooting evenings, club nights, and communal activities shape the club's year.
Three Days of Festivities
From Friday, June 26th, to Sunday, June 28th, 2026, the celebration will last for three days. The opening on Friday, the king's shooting and king's ball on Saturday, and the parade, king's dinner, and Family Day on Sunday form the classic program. A festival tent, food stalls, and carousels ensure the typical Volksfest atmosphere.
Family Day and Children's Program
An important part of the festival is the Family Day with a children's program. Children will find games, bouncy castles, and carousel rides at the Schützenplatz, while parents and grandparents can enjoy the convivial atmosphere in a relaxed setting. This family-friendly concept ensures that young families also visit the festival grounds.
Parade through Weyhausen
The parade on Sunday will wind its way through Weyhausen – shooters in uniform, a marching band, friendly clubs, and the reigning monarch will present a colorful spectacle. Residents and guests line the streets, applauding and waving to the shooters – an impressive display of community spirit.

The Weyhausen festival is part of a network of such events in the neighboring municipalities of Bokensdorf, Jembke, Tappenbeck, and Osloß – friendly clubs from these towns travel to participate in the parade, enhancing the festive character.
