Community of Clubs as Organizers

The Volksfestgemeinschaft Groß Lafferde is a remarkable example of the power of club work in a village community. Instead of a single club organizing the festival, several clubs share the organizational responsibility. MTV Groß Lafferde, SV Teutonia, Kyffhäuser-Kameradschaft, Junggesellschaft, and other organizations contribute their respective strengths and member bases.

Parade and King's Shooting

The festive opening is marked by a parade through the village of Groß Lafferde, accompanied by music clubs and friendly clubs from neighboring villages. The king's shooting on Saturday determines the new majesties, who are then ceremonially proclaimed and crowned in the festival tent.

Festival Tent and Dance Events

The festival tent at the festival grounds is the social center throughout all three days. Catering managed by the clubs, live music, DJ sets, and dance events shape the proceedings. The shooting ball on Saturday evening is the social highlight of the weekend and attracts a wide audience from the entire Peine district.

Diverse Program by the Clubs

The participation of various clubs ensures a diverse program. Sports competitions, demonstrations, children's activities, musical performances, and culinary specialties from the respective clubs complement the classic shooting festival program and create a varied festival weekend.

Identity for Groß Lafferde

The Volksfest is an identity-defining event for the residents of Groß Lafferde. It is an occasion for family reunions, gatherings of friends, and welcoming former residents. This social function is at least as important as the individual program items and ensures the vitality of the village community.
