Biberacher Schützenfest

At the fair, visitors can enjoy various rides, (local) food stalls, a beer tent and various historical beergardens ("Bierkeller") with live music.

Before, during and for a short time after the festival, children and teenagers perform the "Schützentheater"[2] with yearly changing, e.g. fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm.

At the end of the historical parades, some groups team up to demonstrate ancient camp life at the Gigelberg hill where they cook on campfires, feed their horses and perform dances along with live music.

The fairground on the Gigelberg hill offers various rides for children and adults as well as booths with games and a broad variation of (local) food.

Various publications cover the history of the "Biberacher Schützenfest" and the "Schützentheater", published by Fritz Kolesch,[5] Achim Zepp[6] and Christa Graupner[4] (amongst others).
