Ring in the season with a party that tilts toward the theatrical: Extreevaganza 2026 transforms the Treetops Convention Center in Gaylord, Michigan into a high-energy holiday playground. Held under the resort’s vaulted halls on the edge of northern Michigan’s forests, the evening opens at 5:00 p.m. with cocktails and chef-prepared bites and moves through live music, a community presentation, heavy hors d’oeuvres, a dueling entertainment show, decadent desserts, and finally DJ-led dancing.
What makes this event sing for travelers is its combination of place and purpose. The Otsego Community Foundation anchors the night with a presentation that ties the celebration to local giving, so the evening is part party, part community benefit. The Treetops Convention Center’s scale—room for a full banquet, stage, and a flowing reception—lets performers trade piano duels one minute and hand guests plated desserts the next. For visitors who come to Gaylord for outdoor recreation, Extreevaganza offers a warm, social counterpoint to snowshoeing or a day on nearby trails: food-forward, music-forward, and engineered for connection.
Practical details are tidy: individual tickets are $150 and a table of 10 is available for $1,750, prices that include tax and gratuity. Doors open at 5:00 p.m.; expect the program to run several hours with dancing into the evening. The meeting point is listed as Treetops Convention Center in Gaylord, so plan logistics around central resort parking or a short ride from downtown accommodations.
Look for the event’s highlights: curated cocktails and passed appetizers soundtracked by live musicians, a high-energy dueling entertainment experience that invites audience interaction, a generous heavy hors d’oeuvres service, and an impressive dessert display that doubles as a photo moment. The venue’s indoor setting is ideal for winter travel, offering respite from northern Michigan weather while still keeping a view of the region’s pine-lined landscape.
Why book this? Extreevaganza is a concentrated, festive way to experience Gaylord’s holiday scene with minimal planning—no cooking, no playlist, just a night designed for revelry and community. It’s a fit for groups celebrating together, couples who want a lively evening, and travelers who value local causes. Come ready to eat, drink, laugh, and dance; leave knowing you’ve supported a local foundation and claimed an indelible northern-Michigan holiday memory.
Expect a dynamic evening pacing: mix-and-mingle reception time for networking and photos, a seated program segment for the OCF presentation and dueling performance, followed by an open-floor dessert and dancing period.
