On Sunday, October 5, 2025, a very special event will take place in Saarlouis: the 60th district shooting day of the Saarlouis-Merzig shooting district. This is not only a fixture in the region's event calendar, but also a highlight of the Saarlouis Oktoberfest, and the anticipation is already building! Again Weekly Mirror reported, the celebrations start at 2 p.m. when the delegations from 37 district clubs move from the Aqualouis indoor swimming pool to their festival site.
The festively decorated route runs through Holtzendorfer Straße to the Großer Markt, where the Oktoberfest tent awaits many visitors. A very special highlight is the big parade, which not only impresses with its impressive flag delegations and royal couples, but is also musically accompanied by the Ensdorf Fanfare Procession.
Tradition and community
The District Riflemen's Day is all about tradition and customs. In addition to the march of the various clubs, the enthronement of the new district rifle king and queen will be celebrated, accompanied by a celebratory court. The salute and cannon shooting will be particularly impressive, filling the air at the historic casemates at the German Gate with loud bangs and gun smoke. Saarlouis.de emphasizes that the event emphasizes the community spirit and shooting tradition of the region.
Overall, the shooting clubs in the Saarlouis-Merzig district not only promote sporting ambition, but also the maintenance of traditions and enthusiasm for shooting sports. Since 2015, German shooting has even been part of the intangible cultural heritage, which once again underlines the cultural significance of this event.
Greetings of patronage
Reinhold Jost, the Minister for the Interior, Building and Sport, has taken over the patronage and will also personally take part in the celebration. His presence shows how important shooting is for the region and how much it brings people together. “We have something very special here that strengthens the community and promotes the preservation of tradition,” Jost is quoted as saying.
The 60th District Shooting Day will be a celebration for the whole family, and the organizers are looking forward to welcoming many guests to Saarlouis. Anyone who loves tradition and conviviality should definitely not miss this event!
