Everyone is welcome to join in and to celebrate 3 days of vibrant Indigenous Culture! The Kamloopa Powwow Society is honoured to host the 45th annual Kamloopa Powwow taking place June 26-28, 2026 at the beautiful Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc Special Events Facility (the Arbour) within Secwepemcúl’ecw.
A Powwow brings people together in a good way. By being together, we will celebrate our culture and lift our spirits up. Kamloopa Powwow helps to honour our personal pride as First Nations and share our beautiful culture and territory with the world.

Please remember that this is a drug and alcohol-free event.
