In honor of the agricultural community and the planters that organized to build the Green River Academy nearly 200 years ago, the Shindig is the recreation of an annual event held to celebrate community. The Shindig is one of the premier charity events of Southern Kentucky that highlights the tradition of celebrating the region’s unique culture and heritage. The gala features a guest chef prepared dinner set among unique locations within the Academy’s home county, and is followed by live music, dancing, and an auction.
