Downtown Kamloops
Discover the Vibrant Energy and Historic Charm of Downtown Kamloops
Downtown Kamloops is where the city’s energy and charm really come to life. It’s got that perfect mix of small-town friendliness and urban convenience, with tons of local shops, cafés, and restaurants lining the streets. It’s the kind of place where you can spend a Saturday morning browsing the farmers’ market, then grab lunch at a local café or hit up one of the breweries for a drink with friends. Riverside Park is a downtown gem, right on the South Thompson River, and it’s a favourite for locals. With walking trails, beaches, playgrounds, and summer events like Music in the Park, it’s the go-to spot for a relaxing day outside. You’re also close to cultural spots like the Kamloops Art Gallery and Sagebrush Theatre, so there’s always something going on.
