The much-anticipated Seniors’ Picnic is back this summer, promising an afternoon of entertainment and camaraderie for adults aged 55 and over. Co-sponsored by Kamloops Seniors Village and Chartwell Retirement Residences, the event will take place on Friday, July 12, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, in the east end of Riverside Park.

The Kamloops Rube Band and Jeremy Kneeshaw will provide musical entertainment, setting the perfect backdrop for a picnic-style lunch served by the Kamloops Paddlewheelers Lions Club. 

In addition to entertainment, the event offers a range of activities suitable for all levels of mobility and interests. From gentle fitness exercises to chair Zumba, lawn games, and even a photo booth, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Tables and chairs will be provided in the shade to ensure everyone’s comfort during the event, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own water bottles, hats, and sunscreen. 

The event is free; however, registration is required. Call 250-828-3500 or visit Kamloops.ca/Register to confirm your attendance. 

Free parking is available in Riverside Park’s in the east parking lot by Sandman Centre. Given the limited parking space and downtown construction, attendees are encouraged to carpool or explore alternative transportation options.

The City would like to thank the Thompson Nicola Area Girl Guides for volunteering on the day of the event.
