Responsible Liquor Consumption Pilot Program at Riverside Park

The City of Kamloops is continuing a pilot program to allow park visitors to bring and consume their own liquor in a designated area of Riverside Park this spring and summer. The Responsible Liquor Consumption Pilot Program runs daily from 12:00 pm to 9:00 pm between May 15 and October 1, 2026. Individuals aged 19 and older are permitted to bring and consume their own liquor within a clearly marked area around the Rotary Bandshell in Riverside Park.

Special Event Exclusion Dates - There are exclusions to the Responsible Liquor Consumption Pilot Program during special events. Major events require a special event permit and enhanced security measures to ensure the safety of large crowds. In these cases, liquor consumption is regulated under a private liquor licence for special events and contained within a beer garden where liquor is sold.

Notable 2026 upcoming community events where the pilot program will not be in effect include:

  • August 7–9 - Kamloops Sports Council Ribfest
