Additionally, the day turned into a real family celebration, with games and fun for excited children jumping around between the stalls. Thanks to the beautiful weather, the atmosphere was exuberant - the children's faces beamed with joy.

Traditional roots and modern joy

The roots of shooting festivals go back to the Middle Ages, when shooters were responsible for the safety of their communities. [alle-schuetzenvereine] explains that such festivals are widespread in Germany and that there are over 15,000 shooting clubs in the Federal Republic. The course of a shooting festival can vary, but usually begins with a meeting of the members and a shooting competition to crown the new shooting king.

A shooting festival often lasts several days and brings the community together in a festive atmosphere. Whether in marquees or clubhouses - there is something for everyone, from traditional events to modern rides. Such festivities tend to attract larger crowds, which was clearly noticeable in Gifhorn. The children's joy and laughter echoed through the streets and the connection to tradition remained palpable as the young majesties were celebrated.

With this colorful program and the many happy faces, the Gifhorn Children's Shooting Festival has once again shown how important such traditions are for the community.
