The dates fall on the first full weekend in August. A funfair calendar also lists these dates. The Ostrhauderfehn marksmen's club has detailed records of the 2026 edition, held from 7 to 9 August. However, the festival dates 2027 and the new programme have not yet been officially confirmed.
Ostrhauderfehn Fair and Marksmen's Festival 2027: Location and fairground
The fairground is at Wilken-Poelker on Langholter Straße 43 in Ostrhauderfehn. The marksmen's club puts up its large festival tent there. The site is also used for traditional club events. The fair and marksmen's festival is a gathering for the local community in southern East Frisia. The fairground is not the club premises on Kirchstraße. Regular shooting takes place there.
Rides and fair activities
Earlier descriptions also mention funfair and fair attractions as part of the event. However, the showmen actually booked for August 2027 have not yet been confirmed. We therefore do not automatically assign individual attractions from previous editions. Any exact number of rides would also be speculation without a reliable line-up of rides. For planning your visit, keep an eye out for the club's new announcement.
Food and drink, music and family activities
The marksmen's events and celebrations in the festival tent are at the heart of the festival. 2026 began with a children's disco, followed later by an evening party. There was a festival ball on Saturday, while Sunday was a celebration of the royal court and the club community. Refreshments and gatherings were part of the festivities. These examples relate only to 2026; the actual activities and prices for 2027 are not yet available.
Ostrhauderfehn Fair and Marksmen's Festival 2027: Dates and opening times
The provisional festival dates are Friday, 6 August, Saturday, 7 August, and Sunday, 8 August 2027. A full funfair schedule for 2027 has not yet been published. The times of individual festival tent evenings in the previous year do not indicate the general opening times of the entire fairground. Opening times will therefore remain hidden in the calendar until the organisers publish them.
Tradition and marksmen's programme
The marksmen's club reported a royal shooting competition and the proclamation of the king in 2026. There was also a large parade. The Sunday parade went from the fairground to the royal court and back. Children's activities and a royal ball were held later. These are genuine highlights from the previous edition, but are not confirmed plans for 2027. No performers, times or parade routes are therefore listed as confirmed.
