Kamloops comes alive in the summer! With a wide variety of outdoor events and activities, There’s plenty to do in our Community for Seniors living in a Kamloop’s Retirement Residence. Here are a few ideas to get you started with your summer fun!

Shop Kamloops Local at Our Community Market

Kamloops is home to two summer Farmer’s markets: The Kamloops Farmers’ Market and the Kweseltken Farmers’ Market. Both markets are excellent ways to support local artisans and farmers!

The Kamloops Farmers Market has been running for more than 40 years and is a must if you’re in the Kamloops community! From bread to handmade artisanal gifts – the farmers market has it. In the summer, the market is outside every Saturday and Wednesday. 
The Kweseltken Farmers’ and Artisan Market features locally crafted and grown items by both indigenous and non-indigenous local businesses. The market runs every Sunday during the summer and, if you’re lucky, you may even be able to catch some live music while you’re shopping!
