MARSHALL — The Made in Minnesota Craft Beer and Wine Festival didn’t only draw a local crowd over the weekend. Visitors came to Marshall from the tri-state area, and even from North Dakota, said Adri DeBoer of Visit Marshall.

On Saturday, the Made in Minnesota festival brought together more than 30 vendors at the Red Baron Arena and Expo, including breweries and wineries from around Minnesota. DeBoer said this year’s festival had about 10 more vendors than in 2024, and ticket sales were up as well.

“It’s great to see that,” she said. Counting this year’s festival, Made in Minnesota has been going for three years in a row. With an annual event, organizers hope to see it grow over time, DeBoer said. “It’s been steadily going up each year,” she said of attendance.

DeBoer said this year’s festival also featured live music from the Jeremy Poland Band. The live band, which was sponsored by Marshall Festivals, added to the atmosphere of the event, she said.

DeBoer said Made in Minnesota organizers were thankful for the support of area sponsors, for helping make the festival possible
