Secular Harvest Festival Tradition
The Wensebrock Harvest Festival looks back on a secular tradition. Generations of Wensebrock residents have carried and passed on the customs. The Wensebrock marksmen's association is closely linked within the association network to the neighboring associations from Brockel, Westervesede, and Wohlsdorf and they visit each other for their respective harvest festivals.
Harvest Crown and Procession
At the center of the festival is the harvest crown — woven from the fruits of this year's harvest. It is carried in a procession through the Wensebrock village and symbolizes gratitude for the harvest. Farmer families, rural women, marksmen, and children accompany the procession.
Thanksgiving Service
A Thanksgiving service gives thanks for the harvest and places agricultural customs in a spiritual context. The service is open to all denominations and all residents.
Marksmen's Festival Elements
After the spiritual part, marksmen's festival elements follow: King's shooting, crowning of the new monarchs, dance evening in the festival tent with live music. The festival combines the character of a harvest thanksgiving with marksmen's tradition and a folk festival atmosphere.
Meeting Point of the Village Community
The Wensebrock Harvest Festival is the social highlight of the Wensebrock annual program and a meeting point for the entire village community. Former Wensebrock residents return for the festival, families celebrate together, and friendly associations are guests.
