Approximately 135-160 shooting clubs (approximately 10,000 members) participate in a colorful parade, music competitions, drills, and flag-waving.
The highlight is the shooting competition, in which teams of six shooters use heavy rifles to shoot "bölkes" (wooden blocks) from a 14-meter-high mast.
The winning shooting club organizes the OLS the following year and receives "De Um," a bronze trophy.
The festival, which has existed since 1876 and has been called OLS since 1906, attracts approximately 30,000-40,000 spectators and is recognized as intangible cultural heritage.
