Kamloops Pride Week moving from August to June
KAMLOOPS — Mark your calendars Kamloops as the annual Pride Week festivities will be held a couple months earlier than usual, starting this year.
The Kamloops Pride Society says the annual event will get underway on Monday, June 9, with the Pride Parade and Festival scheduled for Sunday, June 15.
“There were multiple considerations when deciding to move Kamloops Pride Week,” Kamloops Pride President Alyssa Christianson said.
“Kamloops weather in August often brings very high temperatures and smoke. Being in the middle of wildfire season, August Pride Week faces risk of poor air quality and travel restrictions.”
