Hitzacker – marksmen's festival 2027

According to the Hitzacker marksmen's guild's fixed date rule, the Hitzacker marksmen's festival 2027 is expected to fall on Sunday, 20 June. This day has been calculated as the marksmen's festival Sunday using the guild's rule; a complete event period for 2027 has not yet been published. Other festival days and the programme therefore remain unconfirmed.

Hitzacker marksmen's festival 2027: Date according to the guild's rule

The 1395 Marksmen's Guild of Hitzacker states a rule that remains valid on its dates page: marksmen's festival Sunday falls twelve weeks after Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday is on 2027 28 March. This makes Sunday 20 June 2027 the expected marksmen's festival Sunday.

However, this calculation confirms neither the start nor the end of the entire festival. In 2026, the programme ran from Thursday to Sunday. No further confirmed days can be inferred from this for 2027. So check the marksmen's guild's announcements before your visit.

Kranplatz and the town island in Hitzacker

For the fair 2026, the marksmen's guild named Kranplatz on the town island as the location. The market square and festival tent were also listed as venues in the programme for the previous edition. Check the new programme for the exact venue and any changes for 2027.

This lets you plan your route to the festival in advance and check for current information about road closures or access before setting off. Hitzacker is on the Elbe in Lower Saxony. Individual programme events may also take place at different locations.

Hitzacker marksmen's festival 2027: Programme and rides

Details for the 2027 edition have not yet been announced. By way of background: according to the marksmen's guild, 2026 included a children's marksmen's festival, processions, a parade and celebrations in the festival tent. The guild was also looking for showmen for the fair on the town island at the time.

It is not yet known which programme events and rides will actually feature in 2027. We therefore cannot confirm the times or individual attractions from the previous year. Once the guild publishes new information, the schedule can be clarified.

Opening hours and admission

Opening hours for the expected marksmen's festival Sunday have not yet been confirmed. There is also no official information at present about admission or possible costs for individual attractions in 2027. So check the latest information before you travel.
