3. Marksmen`s Fair Hannover
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Over 600 years old, this annual July funfair celebrates the marksman. Whether you're a lover of a classic bow and arrow or the hefty firearm, Schützenfest is all about celebrating those that aim for the bull’s-eye. It originated back in 1529 when Duke Erich I granted the city its first ten-day event. However, even before then, Hannover had long been a fan of the crossbow with regular competitions taking place in the town. Now a modern day extravaganza, the fair draws in the young and old, marksman or not, with its wild rides, beer tents, and shooting galleries. While alcohol and arrows might not be the best combination, it’s ten days of authentic German fun that people travel from all over to see.
