Shooting festival in Achmer: celebrations, shooting and great attractions await!
A highlight of social life is coming up in Achmer this weekend: the shooting festival, which will be celebrated on Saturday, June 14th. All citizens are invited to take part in the festivities and experience an unforgettable day. The reigning children's royal couple, Emil Jahnke and Hannah Schwegmann, will lead the parade, which begins at 1:30 p.m.
Preparations began a few days before the festivities. On Thursday June 12th, the streets will be decorated by volunteers together with the Guard. Further wreathing and decorating of the village community complex (DGA) and the festival site is on the program for Friday, June 13th, at 2 p.m. The Achmer volunteer fire department will secure the streets to ensure that the celebrations run smoothly.
The parade and the subsequent celebrations
The parade leads through inviting streets such as Robert Bosch Straße, Westerkappelner Straße and Berliner Ring before ending at the festival square. So that the joy of the shooting festival can also be enjoyed by younger generations, a children's royal shooting competition will take place after the parade, followed by the proclamation of the new regents. This ceremony takes place at 5:30 p.m. for the child royal couple and around 7:00 p.m. for the youth and rifle kings.
The physical well-being is well taken care of: coffee and home-baked cakes await the party guests in the DGA, while a large raffle attracts participants and prizes. Entertainment is also provided - the children can have fun and experience rides on the fairground.
The graduation ceremony and the honors
The first day of the festival ends with a party in the DGA, which starts at 8:30 p.m. and is free to enter. DJ Nico will ensure that guests can party into the night. The second day of the shooting festival, Sunday, June 15th, begins at 10:30 a.m. with a morning pint in the shooting range, where awards will be given. The festival site will finally be cleaned up again on Monday, June 16th, with helpers meeting at 2 p.m.
The shooting festival in Achmer is not only a social event, but also an opportunity to maintain old friendships and create beautiful memories together. Based on the traditions that are also maintained at other shooting festivals, Achmer offers a colorful program for all age groups. The shooting festival of the Ueffeln-Balkum shooting club, which took place a few weeks ago, is just one example of the great interest in such events, where community and joy are the focus. As there, the anticipation of another unforgettable festival is great in Achmer.
If you would like to find out more about the activities and opportunities for support, you can find further information on the official website Achmer shooting club.

The success of the festival depends on the participation of the community, and so everyone is invited to contribute in whatever way. How NOZ reports, the shooting festival will be a big attraction for Achmer and the surrounding towns.
