Hanover shooting festival: a real highlight of the year

When July begins, Hanover becomes the stage for one of Europe's most impressive folk festivals: the Hanover Shooting Festival 2025. From the 04 to 13 July 2025 the capital of Lower Saxony invites you to ten days full of culture, community and enjoyment. The festival combines tradition with modernity and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year - an experience for every generation.

Schützenplatz Hanover: The heart of the festivities

The Hanover shooting range becomes a world of experience for all the senses. With its striking Ferris wheel, numerous rides, gastronomic offerings and marquees, it is the centrepiece of the festival. In the Ferris wheel café you can enjoy the view with a glass of sparkling wine - ideal for relaxing with friends or colleagues.

The world's largest shooting parade - everything you need to know

The Rifle march on Sunday, 06 July 2025 is the absolute highlight of the Schützenfest. About 10,000 participants from Germany and abroad will march on a seven-kilometre route through Hanover's city centre - accompanied by marching bands, uniforms and international groups.
