Your night out
You may not expect it from Kamloops – but our arts and culture scene, especially through the fall months, is buzzing.
We are home to the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra. They offer couples looking for an evening of culture and sophistication an opportunity to escape to the soothing sounds of the orchestra. Whether you're seeking an evening of classics, or something more modern, virtually every weekend has an occasion to remember with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra or the Kamloops Symphony Chorus.
Couples looking to balance their musical experience with something quieter can also take a tour of the Kamloops Art Gallery. Situated on Victoria Street, the gallery offers a variety of exhibitions for both the new art lover and the more seasoned art connoisseur. Whether you want to check out a current art exhibition or one of the recurring programs or events - you will no doubt find something different every time you visit.
If you're more into the theatrics, Western Canada Theatre brings their live productions to stage starting in the fall season. Previous productions have included musicals, comedies, and well-known hits like Elf, The Sound of Music, GLORY! and more.
When was the last time you snuggled up over a movie – and it wasn’t on the couch in front of the latest Netflix limited series? The Kamloops Film Society offers a night out to experience unique, international, and curated films at the Paramount Theatre. Your movie date will end up being something you recount to friends when you return home from your weekend getaway; this isn’t Cineplex Odeon and the latest James Bond flick – this is a unique film worth a discussion.
