Schützenfest with a Long Tradition

The Twistringen Schützenfest is part of the great North German Schützen tradition, which plays a central role in the event calendar in many communities in the Diepholz district and neighboring districts. The Twistringer Schützenverein e.V. organizes the festival with its members and many volunteer helpers.

Marquee, Parade, King's Proclamation

The central program points take place in the large marquee: Opening on Saturday, King's dinner on Sunday, dance evenings with live music. The highlight is the grand parade on Sunday or Monday, during which the members march through the center of Twistringen with flag escorts and music bands. The proclamation of the new majesties is one of the emotional moments of the weekend.

Amusement Rides and Funfair

Parallel to the festival activities, amusement rides and a classic funfair create a Volksfest atmosphere. Families can visit the carousel and roller coaster during the day, while the marquee invites dancing in the evening.
