Neuss-Grefrath – Whitsun and marksmen's festival 2027
What to expect
Neuss-Grefrath marksmen's festival 2027 is expected to be celebrated from Saturday, 15 May to Tuesday, 18 May 2027. The traditional Whitsun and marksmen's festival organised by the St. Sebastianus Schützenbruderschaft von 1706 Grefrath e.V. combines marksmen's traditions, a festival tent and a funfair in the Neuss district of Grefrath. The date has not yet been announced specifically for 2027. It has been derived from the Whitsun pattern of officially documented previous editions and therefore remains provisional.
Neuss-Grefrath marksmen's festival 2027: Expected date
In recent years, the Grefrath marksmen's festival has taken place from Whitsun Saturday to the following Tuesday. The City of Neuss lists 23 to 26 May for 2026. In 2027, these weekdays fall on 15 to 18 May; Whitsun Sunday is on 16 May. This period therefore currently serves as a guide. The brotherhood still needs to officially confirm the dates for 2027. Check the latest information before making firm travel plans.
Festival grounds and funfair site in Grefrath
The festival takes place in Neuss-Grefrath, not in Neuss city centre and not in the independent municipality of Grefrath on the Lower Rhine. The traditional meeting point is the funfair and festival tent area on Lüttenglehner Straße. The area around number 49 in 41472 Neuss is a useful point of reference for getting there. The marksmen's traditions also take place in the streets of the district. You can therefore combine a visit to the funfair with the festival activities.
Neuss-Grefrath marksmen's festival 2027: Funfair and rides
A funfair is also traditionally part of the Whitsun and marksmen's festival. The event features rides and other showman attractions. The specific attractions taking part in 2027 have not yet been reliably confirmed. We therefore do not list rides from previous years as a supposedly confirmed line-up. The operating hours for rides in 2027 are also not currently available.
Marksmen's processions and traditions
The brotherhood keeps its traditions alive with processions, parades, church events and a sociable festival tent programme. In its report on the previous edition, for example, it describes the marksmen's festival on Whitsun Sunday and Monday. These features help you get a sense of the festival. However, the exact programme, including times, procession routes, music and any special features for 2027, will only be confirmed when it is officially announced.
Admission, opening times and planning your visit
No complete daily funfair schedule or confirmed admission and price information has been published for the 2027 edition. Do not therefore plan around fixed operating hours. Individual rides, food and drinks may incur charges. Traffic arrangements around the festival area may also differ during the event. It is therefore worth checking the latest notices from the city and the brotherhood before your visit.
More information
You can find more funfairs and marksmen's festivals in the funfair calendar. Official news about the festival and the association is available from the St. Sebastianus Schützenbruderschaft Grefrath. The City of Neuss documents the local marksmen's festivals from previous years. This provisional plan should be updated as soon as a specific date for 2027 is available.
