About Schützenfest Wittensand

The Schützenfest Wittensand is a small, one-day village shooting festival in the Saterland district of Wittensand and takes place on Saturday, July 4, 2026. Unlike the two- or three-day shooting festivals of the larger districts, the Wittensand festival focuses on a single day of celebration, during which the shooting fraternity gathers for the king's procession, the proclamation of the new royal couple, and an evening celebration in the festival tent. The festival is entirely dedicated to the village community and serves as a meeting point for the small Wittensand village community and for friendly clubs from the Saterland municipality.

Shooting festival in a small district

Wittensand is one of the smaller districts of the Saterland municipality and is located in the northern district of Cloppenburg. The Schützenfest Wittensand is one of several local shooting festivals that take place in the Saterland municipality during the summer. Unlike the festivals in the main towns, the program here is concentrated on a single day – a conscious decision that suits the size and structure of the village community.

Shooting traditions on a small scale

The festival follows the classic course of a shooting festival in a condensed form: procession to pick up the reigning shooting king, march to the festival grounds, king's shooting competition, proclamation of the new royal couple, and an evening celebration in the festival tent with live music or a DJ. The family-friendly format makes the festival particularly personal and communal.

Date 2026

Saturday, July 4, 2026. Detailed information can be found in the shooting festival overview of the Nordkreis Cloppenburg and on the Saterland municipality website.
