Schuetzy's Jubilee Fundraiser Celebration to Feature Mad Dog & Merrill, Live Music, and a Full Weekend of Fun

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. — Schuetzy’s is turning up the summer heat with their Jubilee, a three-day celebration of music, food, community, and giving back, August 15–17, 2025. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit the Community Foundation of Chippewa County, supporting meaningful local initiatives that strengthen the region.

Friday night kicks off with a crowd-favorite Dueling Pianos showdown, where quick-witted pianists duel it out with audience-suggested hits and high-energy showmanship.

Saturday turns up the volume with a Fun Run, Charlie’s Long Horn BBQ Food Truck, Bean Bag Tournament, and a live double-bill concert featuring local powerhouses MadLee and Bumblefist.

Sunday’s grand finale will be a live taping of the hit TV show Mad Dog & Merrill, bringing their beloved grill-side charm and backyard banter to Schuetzy's for a one-of-a-kind experience with the cameras rolling.

Fueled by flavor, fired up by fun, and rooted in community—Jubilee’s live taping of Mad Dog & Merrill’s Midwest Grill’n is proudly brought to you by Leinenkugel’s Leinie Lodge, Go Chippewa County and Schuetzy’s Tavern. Together, they’re grilling up the good times, keeping the grooves going, and giving back to the heart of Chippewa Falls.

“At Leinenkugel’s Leinie Lodge, we’re all about bringing people together over great beer and unforgettable experiences. We’re proud to support and help fire up a weekend that celebrates
community, flavor, and fun right here in our hometown," said Tiffany Thompson, Marketing & Events Coordinator at Leinenkugel Leinie Lodge.
