An established, high-visibility event that remains significantly under-monetized and ready for a step-change in earnings. Rooted in decades of brand equity, the festival is one of the region’s most recognized cultural institutions, backed by strong civic partnerships and a seasoned management team that is willing to remain in place following a sale. For professional operators, private investors, or family offices seeking a scalable, culturally significant asset, this opportunity offers immediate profitability and substantial upside via modernized admission strategy, expanded sponsorship revenue, and premium on-site experiences.   Key Highlights: - 130,000+ annual attendance - Profitable, scalable model - Significant revenue growth potential - Committed financial support from local units of government - Strong partnerships with local permitting authorities - Management team available to remain post-sale ## Business Details ASKING PRICE: Undisclosed REASON FOR SALE: Retirement GROSS SALES: Undisclosed CASH FLOW: Undisclosed FACILITY: The festival operates with a highly efficient, asset-light model. All major equipment, staging, infrastructure, and venue space are rented, eliminating the need for capital investment, year-round storage, or maintenance. This structure keeps overhead low, reduces operational risk, and gives ownership the freedom to scale, redesign, or relocate elements of the event without legacy constraints. As a result, resources can be focused on growth, expanding programming, enhancing guest experiences, and driving revenue, rather than managing fixed assets. EMPLOYEES: All workers are technically contractors. Of these, roughly 12 contractors collectively provide labor equivalent to about 4 full-time and 8 part-time roles. An additional pool of approximately 100 contractors is brought in to support operations during and around the festival dates. - - - - ![Mike Derus](https://oibmn.com/hubfs/Headshots/Mike%20Derus-1.png "Mike Derus") Mike Derus Business Broker, Advisor 612-331-8392 612-242-7777 mike.derus@oibmn.com [VIEW PROFILE](https://oibmn.com/our-team/mike-derus) ### Request Information ![Mike Derus](https://oibmn.com/hubfs/Headshots/Mike%20Derus-1.png "Mike Derus") Mike Derus, Business Broker, Advisor 612-331-8392 612-242-7777 mike.derus@oibmn.com [![OIB MN Logo](https://oibmn.com/hubfs/New%20Logos/OIB%20Logo%20-%20Default2.svg "OIB MN Logo")](https://oibmn.com/) Minneapolis Headquarters The Banks Building 615 First Avenue N.E.
