The 2026 Nisswa Winter Jubilee rides into town with a western-themed twist, The Great Nisswa Snowdown. New this year, the Nisswa Chamber has stepped in to take the lead on the Winter Jubilee, and a huge thank you goes out to the Chamber and the entire Winter Jubilee Committee for bringing this weekend together. The celebration kicks off with a Kickoff Party at the Nisswa American Legion, featuring line dancing on Friday night and live music Friday and Saturday at the Legion. Another new addition is a free will Community Meal hosted by the Nisswa Lions Club, bringing everyone together over chili and chili dogs during Saturday’s festivities. Saturday is packed with the parade, games, competitions, food, and family-friendly events happening throughout town, with snow sculptures returning weather permitting. Ye Old Pickle Factory hosts live music all weekend long, and Sunday wraps up with breakfast, the Fishing Tournament on Nisswa Lake hosted by the Nisswa Fire Department, barring safe ice conditions, and live music to close out the celebration.
