KAMLOOPS — Yet another venerable Kamloops summer event will return in 2022.

The City of Kamloops says the annual Canada Day festivities will return this year at Riverside Park.

The family-oriented event regularly attracts thousands of residents and visitors to the park, though pandemic restrictions have led to its cancellation for the past two years.

Attractions include a pancake breakfast, arts and cultural displays, and musical performances including the kickoff to Music in the Park.
