Marksmen's Funfair

From Friday, 29th June
to Sunday, 8th July 2007


For the biggest "Schuetzenfest" in the world, come to Hannover! The marksmen (and women) celebrate together with over two million vistiors: ten days of good-natured celebrations to enliven summer in the city at the spectacular funfair: from flea circus through shooting competitions to the big wheel you'll find everything to make this an experience to remember- raucous showmen with their breathtaking novelties, nostalgic carousels, stalls and booths, hair-raising rides and much more. The highlights of the festvial is the colourful marksmen's parade on Sunday (1st July), when about 12,000 people march from the town hall to the fairground. Brass bands, horse-drawn drays and carnival floats and of course the marksmen and women themselves - quite simply, Europe's biggest procession!

 

International Fireworks Competition

From Saturday, 12th May
to Saturday, 22nd September 2007

The Royal Herrenhausen Gardens once again play host to the International Firework Competition of the world's most creative pyrotechnicians, showing off their skills in this beautiful Baroque setting by accompanying pop and classical music with perfectly-timed explosions, rockets and astonishing displays of light and colour.

Each evening begins with a varied supporting programme of performing arts and music all over the garden, with children's theatre, walk acts, dance groups, bands and musical ensembles. One highlight of the series is the "Horse Fireworks", where spectators can admire riders in historical costume, wonderful dressage and a Classical-Baroque equestrain gala, culminating in a firework display precisely coordinated with the movements of the horses. http://www.feuerwerkswettbewerb-hannover.de/

Lake Maschsee - Festival
. 
From Wednesday, 25th July
to Sunday 12th August  2007
   .
Maschseefest is the biggest open-air festival in northern Germany. Since 1986 this enormous party around Hannover's city lake with its promenades, avenues and boulevards on the north shore has laid on an unforgetable good-time atmosphere. The fun starts with a stilt parade on the north shore at 6 on the evening of 25th July, and for the next three weeks the lakeside will be thronged with people of all ages out for a good time and indulging their summer mood. On the lawns behind the north west shore there' s a full fun and games programme for children, and on the stages all around the Maschsee music for every taste, while right through the festival weeks visitors can indulge their appetites in the inexhaustible gastronomic delights on offer. Romance is also a part of the special flair of Maschseefest, whether on an evening boat cruise or a hand-in hand stroll along the illuminated shore promenade. Fireworks displays on the opening evening and the last Saturday of the festival are always two special highlights. Get more information at http://www.hannover-tourism.de/
