The City is inviting residents to a celebration of the future centre of the arts this weekend.

Entertainment will include performances from the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Let’s Move Studio and Kamloops Film Society.

There will be an all-ages interactive musical play zone and Western Canada Theatre has invited some favourite local performers to play tour guides, box office staff, and backstage performers to give attendees a view of life at the Kamloops Centre for the Arts.
