With its history dating back to medieval times, the Schützenfest, or ‘shooting festival’, has long been celebrated in German towns. The South Australian German Association has been hosting the Adelaide Schützenfest since 1964. With over 28,000 patrons attending every year, the Adelaide Schützenfest is second largest Schützenfest in the world and the largest ethnic festival in the Southern Hemisphere. Once again we have over 40 stalls serving traditional German food and beverage, souvenirs cultural heritage displays, children’s entertainment, ‘Strong Arm’ stein lifting competitions, and much more. Schützenfest is a festival for the whole family to enjoy. The 2010 event is bursting with activity. If you have never been before, this is certainly the year to get out there and give it a go!!
