Question of the Week

What should the City of Kamloops do to celebrate Canada Day?

Jun 22, 2026

“BCLC is thrilled to be back co-presenting Music in the Park with the City of Kamloops,” added Lara Gerrits, BCLC’s Director of Social Purpose, Partnerships and Engagement. “This iconic, long-standing summer event is a community linchpin that celebrates our city’s vibrant arts and culture community and helps bring people together for shared moments of entertainment, connection, fun and play.”

There will be food trucks at Riverside Park every night in July and August and people will also be allowed to bring their own liquor on most nights as part of the Responsible Liquor Consumption Pilot Program, which has been extended into a second year.

Personal alcohol consumption will not be permitted on July 1 (Canada Day), July 19 (FIFA World Cup final), July 22 (Midsummer Music Jam), July 24 to 26 (Kamloops International Buskers Festival) and August 7 to 9 (Ribfest) as a designated beer garden will be set up at Riverside Park.

All concerts are subject to weather conditions and air quality, and the city cautions the schedule may change without notice. Schedules and more information can be found here.
