Annual Seniors’ Picnic Returns to Riverside Park in Kamloops

The much-loved Seniors’ Picnic is back, providing entertainment and camaraderie for adults aged 55 and over. 

Co-sponsored by Kamloops Seniors Village and Westsyde Landing (formerly the Hamlets at Westsyde), the event will take place on Friday, August 28, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the east end of Riverside Park.

The Kamloops Rube Band and Gary Mockford will provide musical entertainment during the picnic-style hot dog lunch served by the Kamloops Paddlewheelers Lions Club. 

In addition to entertainment, the event features chair yoga, chair Zumba, and lawn games, offering participants enjoyable opportunities for gentle physical activity. 

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, but registration is required. To register, call 250-828-3500 or visit Kamloops.ca/SeniorsPicnic. 

Free parking is available in Riverside Park in the east parking lot by Sandman Centre. As this is a popular event, attendees are encouraged to carpool or explore alternative transportation options.
