Düsseldorf-Oberkassel – Oberkassel Marksmen's Festival 2027
What to expect
The Oberkassel Marksmen's Festival 2027 is scheduled from Thursday, 6 May to Sunday, 9 May 2027. The Düsseldorf marksmen's association's calendar lists these dates for St. Sebastianus Schützenverein Oberkassel. The festival traditionally includes a fairground on the small Rhine meadow.
Oberkassel Marksmen's Festival 2027 on the Rhine meadow
The local marksmen's association celebrates its festival on the Oberkassel Rhine meadows. The Düsseldorf marksmen's association lists the date for 2027 in its calendar. You can make a note of the weekend around Ascension Day for now. Check with the organisers before your visit for any changes and details of the fairground layout.
The local marksmen's festival in May is a separate event. It is not the same as the large Rheinkirmes in July, although both take place on the Oberkassel Rhine meadows.
Fairground and rides
For its festival 2026, the Oberkassel marksmen's association describes a fairground with rides and a wine area. Events in a festival tent were also part of the programme at the time. It is not yet known which stalls and attractions 2027 will actually take part. We therefore do not list rides from the previous year as confirmed.
The site is in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel by the Rhine. If you are travelling by public transport, check the routes and information about possible changes in the area around the festival in advance. Specific traffic arrangements for 2027 have not yet been announced.
Oberkassel Marksmen's Festival 2027: Schedule and programme
Marksmen's traditions and celebrating together are at the heart of the festival. According to the marksmen's association, the programme for the 2026 edition included, among other things, a marksmen's competition and coronation, as well as events in the festival tent. The programme for 2027, with exact times, has not yet been published. We therefore do not list these previous programme items as confirmed individual events.
The days when the funfair will operate during the announced festival period also still need to be confirmed separately. So check the association's website for the latest information before travelling.
Opening hours and admission
We do not yet have the daily opening hours of the funfair for 2027. There is also no confirmed admission policy for the new edition. We will add reliable information here as soon as it is published.
Distinguishing the marksmen's festival from Rheinkirmes
The name Rhine meadow appears in connection with several festivals in Düsseldorf. St. Sebastianus Schützenverein Oberkassel organises the festival described here in May. The large Rheinkirmes in July has a different organiser and its own calendar entry. This makes it easier for you to tell the two events apart.
