Attendees gather at a former Music in the Park event in Riverside Park. City of Kamloops staff said the free summer concert series will be back in 2022, with more information to be announced in the coming days.
Two summer events — Music in the Park and Canada Day — will be happening this summer, according to City of Kamloops staff.
Barb Berger, the city’s recreation, social development and culture manager, told council at their March 29 meeting that there will be more information on the city’s plans coming soon.
“We are going to be actually doing some communication about both Canada Day and Music in the Park at the end of the week,” Berger said.
“They are going ahead.”
The city has hosted a virtual Canada Day celebration for the past two years due to COVID-19.
Music in the Park was cancelled entirely in 2020 due to the pandemic. While a two-week schedule of free evening concerts was planned for summer 2021, the event faced an abrupt cancellation due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in Kamloops.
Organizers of the Kamloopa Powwow have also announced a return of the popular event after a two year haitus. The powwow is set for the end of July.
