What to expect
The Garather Schützenfest 2027 is scheduled from Friday, 7 May to Tuesday, 11 May 2027. The calendar of the Düsseldorf marksmen's association lists these dates for the Garather Schützenverein. As well as marksmen's traditions, the festival traditionally includes a funfair.
Garather Schützenfest 2027: Date and fairground
The calendar of the Interessengemeinschaft Düsseldorfer Schützenvereine lists the marksmen's festival for the period from 7 to 11 May 2027. The Garather Schützenplatz is on Frankfurter Straße. The association also reports on the fairground and the rides at previous editions.
The period refers to the marksmen's festival as a whole. The funfair may have different operating days. The local marksmen's brotherhood says that the funfair usually ends on Monday. However, separate confirmation of the funfair days for 2027 is still pending.
Rides and market stalls
The Garather Schützenverein lists the funfair as part of its festival. The showmen, children's activities and rides coming to Garath for 2027 have not yet been announced. We therefore do not list any attractions from a previous edition as confirmed. We can update the overview as soon as specific details become available.
Garather Schützenfest 2027: Programme
The marksmen's and local heritage festival combines community life and a festival tent with marksmen's traditions. The local brotherhood describes previous programmes that included a procession, a parade and the crowning of the new dignitaries. The specific programme for 2027, including all times, has not yet been announced. The traditional elements listed here therefore do not confirm any individual programme items for the new edition.
According to the brotherhood, the association usually celebrates from Friday to Tuesday around Mother's Day. In 2027, Mother's Day falls on 9 May. The date published by the marksmen's association matches this tradition.
Opening hours and admission
The funfair's daily opening hours for 2027 are not yet known. We also have no separate admission details for the 2027 edition. Check the organiser's latest information shortly before your visit.
