Düsseldorf-Bilk – Bilker Schützenfest 2027

Bilker Schützenfest Düsseldorf 2027 takes place from Friday, 18 June, to Tuesday, 22 June 2027. The Interessengemeinschaft Düsseldorfer Schützen (IGDS) explicitly lists these dates for the St. Sebastianus Schützenverein Bilk. The traditional marksmen's festival in Düsseldorf-Bilk combines a festival tent and marksmen's parades with a large funfair. Since 2026, the showmen's area has been organised by the Schaustellerverband Düsseldorf. However, the rides, events and opening times actually confirmed for 2027 have not yet been fully announced.

Bilker Schützenfest Düsseldorf 2027: Confirmed festival dates

The official Düsseldorf marksmen's association already lists the festival dates 18 to 22 June 2027 in its calendar. It starts on Friday and ends on Tuesday, making the marksmen's festival five days long. The club's website records 19 to 23 June 2026 as the previous year's dates. The marksmen's festival and funfair may run for different lengths of time. In 2026, the funfair ran from Friday to Monday. It has not yet been announced whether the same will apply in 2027.

Bilker funfair at Aachener Platz

The funfair traditionally takes place at Aachener Platz, with access via Ulenbergstraße and Ubierstraße in Düsseldorf's Bilk district. The club's official retrospective confirms Aachener Platz as the funfair location for the 2026 edition. The club also describes how the funfair was reorganised together with Schaustellerverband Düsseldorf. The fairground is used as a paved site with suitable infrastructure. A final layout and access plan for 2027 is not yet available. The location on our map is therefore provided as a guide.

Bilker Schützenfest Düsseldorf 2027: Rides

The organiser looks back on the 2026 edition as featuring a significantly expanded funfair. It included, among other things, a Ferris wheel and various family attractions. The professional organisation by Schaustellerverband Düsseldorf was an important new feature of this edition. A confirmed list by name of all rides and showmen for 2027 is not yet available. We are therefore not automatically linking the businesses from 2026 or listing unconfirmed new rides. The actual line-up of rides can be added later, once the pitch allocations have been confirmed.

Marksmen's traditions, parades and music

The marksmen's festival traditionally offers a varied programme with parades through Bilk, shooting competitions, events in the festival tent and music. In 2026, the programme included a weekend parade, award ceremonies and a king's shooting competition. The St. Sebastianus Schützenverein also shares information about the funfair and festival tent on its website. This information relates to the previous edition and does not confirm programme dates for 2027. Any fireworks or special family event will therefore not be given a date without current confirmation.

Opening times, admission and travel

Opening times are provisional, as of 2026. The funfair opening time of 17:30 on Friday is taken from the previous year's official programme. Other daily opening times for 2027 are not yet known. The marksmen's festival runs until Tuesday, while the funfair 2026 ended on Monday. General admission prices, festival tent tickets and individual ride prices for 2027 have not yet been fully published. No confirmed information is yet available for 2027 about diversions or parking at Aachener Platz and Ulenbergstraße.
