🎣🍻 NEW for 2026: Jig & Swig! 🍷🎶

Kick off the Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza with Jig & Swig, a brand-new tasting-style event celebrating the world’s largest charitable ice fishing tournament.

Stroll, sip, and sample your way through a curated lineup of local and regional breweries, distilleries, wineries, and ready-to-drink beverages, paired with appetizers, live acoustic music, and Extravaganza-exclusive swag. Whether you’re a longtime Extravaganza fan or just looking for a fun winter night out, Jig & Swig is the perfect way to start the weekend—while supporting a great cause. Proceeds stay right here in the Brainerd Lakes Area, benefiting local nonprofits and community initiatives.
