The Tomato Festival started as an event of the TRU Friends of the Garden in 2012 which was held at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market.  Eventually the organization of the event was taken up by the market. Kamloopsians are encouraged to grow and enjoy locally grown tomatoes whether from your own yard, the farmers’ market, or one of the many local restaurants and cafes which support local in-season agriculture. 

Tomato Festival dates for 2024 are September 7th through 14th.
