In an unexpected turn of events, Vintage Band Festival was nominated in the Southern Minnesota Scene Magazine’s Readers Choice Award contest for 2025 Best Music Festival of Southern Minnesota last June. There were four other festivals nominated in the category, festivals in Owatonna, Faribault, St. Peter, and Mankato. Voting took place during the month of June and the winners were announced during the last week of July.

All of us at Vintage Band Festival want to thank our audience members and fans for voting for us! We are humbled and grateful.
