Festival celebrating artillery fire in Clörath-Vennheide

Hey there! Let's dive into the lively world of shooting festivals, where camaraderie and accuracy reign supreme.

First off, we've got an exciting event coming up. It's the junior shooters spectacular, happening Corpus Christi Thursday (June 19). Aspiring marksmen and women, both youngsters and youth princes, gather at the shooting range on Reiherweg 5, commencing at 3 PM. Spectators can join the shooting community for a cheery gathering, chowing down on refreshments, sipping cold drinks, and engaging in intriguing conversations, while the young guns determine their majesties.

Fast forward to Friday (June 20), when the junior shooters will sport their own accommodations, sprinkled with greenery by numerous helping hands. At 8 PM, the tent maiden will be raised high at the festival tent, heralding the open season at the festival. The mayor and king will tap the keg, promising a vibrant party night with DJ, and the best part? It's absolutely free!

Stepping into the weekend, the St. Johannes Shooting Society of 1662 will march to the mission cross at 3:45 PM on Saturday (May 21), honoring departed shooting companions with a wreath. Later, they'll strut their stuff in Anrath, where President Markus Poltermann will celebrate the festival mass in St. Johanneskirche at 5 PM. Come evening, the shooting ball begins at 6:30 PM, featuring "Party Express Cologne".

Sunday morning (June 22) at 9:30 AM, the Cleves Johannes Shooters will march, accompanied by several guest brotherhoods, to the Vennheide parade. After the military tattoos, the 'Musical Early Lunch' with awards will unfold in the festival tent. The evening parade goes live at 6:15 PM, followed by the king's gala ball with the band Teamwork at 6:30 PM.

Finally, on Monday (June 23), the championship for the king's title kicks off at 4 PM on the shooting range.

Now, if you're not a fan of rifles and canons, fear not! In our exploration, we stumbled upon two other shooting fests — the TFL Shotgun Fest 2025 and SHOOTAH 2025.
