Dormagen – Marksmen's Festival 2027

Schützenfest Dormagen 2027 takes place from Friday, 25 June, to Tuesday, 29 June 2027. Bürger-Schützen-Verein Dormagen von 1867 has explicitly announced the five festival days on its own event website. The marksmen's and local heritage festival in central Dormagen combines a large funfair at Schützenplatz with a festival tent, marksmen's traditions and processions. Details of the programme, showmen and ticket conditions for the upcoming edition have not yet been confirmed. This page therefore includes only information already verified and clearly labelled details from previous years.

Schützenfest Dormagen 2027: official dates

The association gives 25 to 29 June 2027 as the dates for the next edition. The first day is a Friday and the last a Tuesday. This means the traditional festival will once again take place around the fourth weekend in June. The association's website is the direct source from the organisers and has already explicitly confirmed the upcoming year. The list published by the city association for 2026 also shows how this central town festival differs from other Dormagen marksmen's festivals, such as those in Horrem, Delrath and Zons.

Schützenplatz and funfair in central Dormagen

The funfair site is at Schützenplatz on Walhovener Straße, near Bürger-Schützen-Allee, 41539 Dormagen. According to the association's official information, the large festival grounds form a circuit with rides, games and food stalls. BSV Marketing, which manages the pitches, described the site for 2026 as an event area of approximately 25.000 square metres, with around 40 stalls and a festival tent. These figures refer to the previous year and are not confirmed numbers for 2027.

Schützenfest Dormagen 2027: attractions

According to the official organisers' website, the 2026 edition featured rides such as Mondlift, Flying Circus and X-Factor. Traditional sweets and food stalls were also part of the circuit. It has not yet been confirmed whether these same rides will return in 2027. A complete line-up of rides for 2027 is not yet available. We have therefore not listed any individual showmen or attractions as confirmed participants. Possible debuts and children's rides will also be added only once they have been confirmed.

Processions and festival tent

Bürger-Schützen-Verein Dormagen's marksmen's and local heritage festival combines the association's traditions with a public fair. The 2026 edition included marksmen's processions, shooting competitions, the festival opening and music events. Some events in the festival tent had separate admission rules. The detailed 2027 programme, including procession routes, the king's shooting competition, bands and any fireworks, will be added only after an up-to-date announcement from the association. You should not rely on concert times from previous years.

Opening hours and family activities

Opening hours are provisional, as of 2026. The start times shown on the event page have been taken from the association's official funfair schedule for 2026, arranged by day of the week. According to the association, the previous Tuesday ended at 21 o'clock; this does not provide reliable closing times for the other days. It has not yet been confirmed whether a special family day will be held again in 2027. Individual ride prices and admission conditions are also still unknown. The festival tent may require separate tickets.

Getting there, parking and official information

In previous years, Walhovener Straße was temporarily closed during the marksmen's festival, while Schützenplatz was unavailable for parking during set-up. Detours and procession routes for 2027 will be announced separately. Allow some extra time for your journey and check for the latest information shortly before the festival. The official organisers' website confirms the 2027 dates, while the association's funfair page documents the previous year's times. Find more dates in our funfair calendar.
