The Gemeindeschützenfest Wüsting is the Whitsun Schützenfest of the village of Wüsting in the municipality of Hude. In 2026, the weekend from Whit Saturday, May 23rd to Whit Monday, May 25th will be celebrated at Eventhof Urban (Raiffeisenstraße 1). The Wüsting Shooting Club organizes the traditional festival with free beer tapping, king's shooting, parade, day of the Wüsting clubs, and dance evening.
The highlight is the proclamation of the new shooting royalty on Whit Sunday at 5 PM. Whit Saturday also offers a free Whitsun party.
Wüsting is one of the districts of the municipality of Hude (Oldenburg) and is home to an active shooting club that has been organizing the Whitsun weekend as a Schützenfest date for generations. The festival is both a club festival and a village festival, bringing together people from Wüsting of all ages.
The kick-off on Whit Saturday, May 23rd, 2026, will feature free beer tapping and king's shooting at the shooting stand. In the evening, the Whitsun party with live music and free admission follows — a format that appeals to both young and older festival-goers.
On Whit Sunday, May 24th, 2026, the program begins at 1 PM with the reception of guest clubs. At 5 PM, the proclamation of the new shooting royalty follows — the central moment of the weekend. Afterwards, the King's dinner with the new court takes place.
Whit Monday, May 25th, 2026, is the day of the Wüsting clubs. From 2 PM onwards, the local clubs — from sports and music to social initiatives — will present themselves on the festival grounds. This turns the Schützenfest into a showcase of Wüsting's entire village life.
The venue is Eventhof Urban in Hude-Wüsting (Raiffeisenstraße 1). The professionally equipped event location offers a festival tent, sanitary facilities, and catering infrastructure, ensuring the weekend can take place without the typical limitations of mobile marquees.
