Welcome to Illuminate Kamloops, a showcase of art and light across the city, brought to you by Tourism Kamloops. This innovative project features installations of illumination and art at multiple locations, each designed to transform the way you see and experience Kamloops.
This initiative is a collaboration with the City of Kamloops, local businesses, and is supported by the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program (CERIP) through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Sport. Each exhibit offers a unique exploration opportunity, encouraging visitors and residents to journey through the city’s illuminated landscapes.

Illuminate Kamloops is more than just a display; it's a visionary project that redefines Kamloops as a dynamic, vibrant city.

Our vision is to cultivate a lively, secure community where both residents and visitors can enjoy a higher quality of life and a stronger sense of connection.
