The “Green Shack” has been a big part of Edmonton’s summer activities for young people since I can remember.
This summer, the Edmonton Arts Council thrilled to once again partner with the City of Edmonton to present “Green Shack Shows.” Throughout July and August, free concerts and performances will happen five days a week at Green Shacks across the city with one performance in the morning, and another in the afternoon.
I chatted with Bob Rasko from the Edmonton Arts Council about the Green Shacks and the shows planned.
