Green Shack Shows: What's coming up in July

Get ready, Edmonton — Green Shack Shows are back, and they’re bursting with fun!

Join the fun five days a week, with shows happening twice in the morning (11 am) and twice in the afternoon (2:30 pm). That means there are lots of chances to laugh, dance, and be amazed all summer long.
