Week of July 21, 2025
movie, magic, music, motors and more
Hey,
I hope you all had a fun, wet, and festy weekend.
Here's what's happening this week in Kimberley.
Summer day camps continue at the pool and climbing gym for parents who love their children but need a break.
Monday is usually quiet for live music, but Tailgator is breaking that trend with a show at Over Time Beer Works.
Tuesday brings movie night at Centre 64 with The Greatest Showman — expect plenty of singing and dancing (it’s one of my mom’s favourite films).
Wednesday, magician Lief David from Kelowna is performing at the library. Check it out if you feel like you need a little magic in your week.
Thursday is the Farmer’s Market. There's something for everyone, plus nearby businesses are hosting special events like the Kids Makerspace Drop In at Chupacabra Collective.
Friday kicks off the second Coffee Outside Campout — basically biking, camping, and coffee all rolled into one weekend. Perfect for Kimberley.
Saturday brings the Motor Mountain Car Show, and an Advanced Dirt Jump Clinic from Ride Theory. Combine the two? Now that’s entertainment.
Check the full list below for everything going on in our little mountain town this week.
