Shake the Lake returns to the Queen City

After the Queen City Ex and Regina Folk Festival last week, another Regina tradition is about to begin.

Shake the Lake is back in the Queen City, with performances running throughout Friday and Saturday.

This is the second year in a row the classic rock festival has been held, after being cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19.

“We’re super, super excited to be doing it again,” said Neil Donnelly, the chief executive officer for the Conexus Arts Centre.
