Schutzenfest

The South Australian German Association's incarnation of Schützenfest (originally, a marksman's festival held in Medieval Germany) is the largest folk festival in the southern hemisphere, and has been run on an annual basis since 1964. Although the shooting competition is still a central event of the festival, over the years, a wealth of diverse cultural fare has also been included in the program. Visitors can observe Bavarian dancing, fencing and even Japanese swordsmanship demonstrations,
