Remscheid – Remscheid marksmen's and local heritage festival 2027
What to expect
Remscheid marksmen's and local heritage festival 2027: The summer funfair with marksmen's festival in Remscheid is expected to take place from Friday, 2 July, to Tuesday, 6 July 2027. Remscheid's marksmen's association, founded in 1816, names the first full weekend in July as its fixed annual festival date. No explicitly confirmed five-day run for 2027 has been announced so far. In particular, Tuesday as an additional day is still subject to confirmation.
Remscheid marksmen's and local heritage festival 2027: Venue and atmosphere
Remscheid's Schützenplatz is right next to the city park. The city of Remscheid gives its area as around 21.000 square metres. The site has space for rides, stalls and marksmen's events. The city park, various streets and bus stops are nearby. This makes the festival site accessible to visitors from across the city. The marksmen's festival is one of the regular events held at the site.
Rides and showmen
Previous editions of the summer funfair featured bumper cars, Break Dance, activities for children and other family attractions. The line-up of rides changes every year. No complete official list of participants has been announced for 2027. The rides from 2026 are therefore mentioned solely as examples from previous funfairs. A ride or new attraction for 2027 will only be listed once confirmed.
Food and drink and an outing experience
Between the rides, you can discover sweets, savoury snacks and drinks. The marksmen's and local heritage festival also offers a chance to socialise around the association and its traditions. You can plan a varied afternoon with your family or an evening with friends. The large festival site has room for a range of attractions and a leisurely stroll.
Remscheid marksmen's and local heritage festival 2027: Date and opening times
The period listed in a funfair calendar runs from Friday, 2 July, to Tuesday, 6 July 2027. The association generally confirms the first full weekend in July. For 2026, the funfair was announced as open daily from 14 and on Sundays from 12. Full closing times and a confirmed daily schedule for 2027 are not yet available. No speculative opening times are therefore given.
Tradition and highlights
The marksmen's festival 2026 featured a ceremonial keg tapping, a citizens' king shooting competition and fireworks on Friday evening. The programme also included a tattoo on Saturday and the main parade on Sunday. Monday was family day, with reduced ride prices. It is not yet clear whether this programme will return in 2027. We are therefore not listing set times for the fireworks, parade or family day in the new annual edition.
