The holidays are upon us, and there's no better place to get in the festive spirit than Downtown Kamloops! We're thrilled to announce our Holiday Shop Hop, an event that’s all about local holiday shopping, merry moments, and the chance to win $1,000 in gift cards to spend downtown! So grab your shopping buddies, put on those cozy winter scarves, and get ready to hop from shop to shop to complete your holiday checklist in style. This year's Holiday Shop Hop will run from November 17th - December 14th
What’s the Holiday Shop Hop?
Imagine a fun-filled day exploring the best of Downtown Kamloops – browsing unique boutiques, savouring holiday treats, and discovering exclusive offers at every stop. This isn’t your average shopping spree; it’s a holiday adventure! When you join the Shop Hop, you’ll receive a special “Holiday Shop Hop Passport” to collect stamps from participating stores as you go. With each stop, you're one step closer to winning the grand prize. Three stamps fill your passport, which is all you need to enter the draw for $1,000 worth of Downtown Kamloops gift certificates. Not a bad holiday haul, right?
How to Get In on the Fun
Every stop on the Shop Hop supports the small businesses that make Kamloops special. Your holiday purchases go a long way toward supporting our community.

To drive consumer activity into downtown businesses through contesting to win tickets to Kamloops Blazers’ home games as well as passes to the KIA Memorial Cup Tournament.
During the Blazers season September 23, 2022, to March 27, 2023, patrons can enter at participating downtown businesses for a weekly chance to win a pair of home game tickets to cheer on their Kamloops Blazers. At the end of the regular season, one lucky fan will win two Blazer jerseys and two passes for the 2023 Memorial Cup Tournament!
Participating businesses will be identified by a #WEWANTTHECUP poster visible to patrons, a draw box, and #WEWANTTHECUP staff t-shirts. Posters, draw boxes and entry ballots are freely provided by Downtown Kamloops. T-shirts can be ordered and purchased at cost through Downtown Kamloops. Each Tuesday from September 27th to March 27th our CAP Team collects entries for the weekly Blazers ticket draws. Then, on March 28th we collect all draw boxes and give away the 2023 Memorial Cup grand prize package.
Contact Downtown Kamloops Administration to join the promotion. Please call or e-mail at 250-372-3242 | admin@downtownkamloops.com
