Verdigre is a village in Knox County, Nebraska, United States.

Verdigre was platted in 1887 shortly before the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad was extended to that point.

[5] Verdigre was the site of a fatal injury during a professional wrestling tag team match on June 13, 1971, when Alberto Torres was hurt while competing against Ox Baker.

The racial makeup of the village was 96.3% White, 1.9% Native American, and 1.7% from two or more races.

A kolach is a pastry of Czech and Slovak origin, with a fruit center, usually poppy seed, prunes, cherries, or blueberries, somewhat similar to a Danish.

During the summer, usually the second week of June, Verdigre hosts a huge festival celebrating the kolach and usually provides rides, tractor pulls, both duck and turtle races, live music, mud volleyball, kolach eating contests, and a variety of activities for the community.

The city elects Kolach Royalty ( both King and Queen ) during the festivities.
