Tourism Kamloops is proud of our accommodation partners who continue to show hospitality to evacuees, while ensuring there is plenty of room for the thousands of guests we expect to see this season.

All tourism experiences continue to operate and several of our iconic city parks are open including Riverside Park, Pioneer Park, Prince Charles Park and McDonald Park. Music in Park continues their nightly schedule.
