Annual Shindig Fund Raiser Is March 20

"A Celebration of Mountain Traditions" - Join us at 7pm on Saturday, March 20 at the historic Colonial Theatre in downtown Canton for "A Celebration of Mountain Traditions", and evening of fun and fund raising for our beloved mountain tradition, Shindig on the Green.

Hosted by Masters of Ceremony, Glenn Bannerman and John Roten, the concert features Balsam Range, Laura Boosinger and Bobby Hicks, and the Cole Mountain Cloggers.

Over 30,000 people attend Shindig on the Green for free throughout the summer.  While the crowds of locals and visitors at Shindig have grown over the years, so have costs.  Additionally, the logistical support provided by the City of Asheville has been significantly reduced due to budget cuts.  The Folk Heritage Committee initiated the spring concert fundraiser five years ago in order to raise necessary funds in advance of Shindig's annual kickoff.

Tickets for this evening are $20, $10 for students with valid identification or a $15 per person group rate for 10 or more adults.

Individual and group tickets may be reserved in advance by emailing info@folkheritage.org or purchased by calling the historic Colonial Theatre at 828.235.2760.
