moments. The festival of the Iserlohner Bürger-Schützen-Verein (IBSV) stands for the
perfect symbiosis of deeply rooted tradition and contemporary festival culture.

in the marquee or enjoy the special panorama on the "Höhe"
- the IBSV marksmen's festival offers the right highlight for every guest.
The program highlights at a glance:
- Tradition up close: follow the exciting royal shooting and the
magnificent parades that transform the cityscape into a sea of white and green flags
