Neil Diamond and superheroes: Campbell River welcomes Tour De Rock Tonight
Campbell River is set to welcome a night of music, heroes, and community as the Tour de Rock rolls into town this evening. The annual charity cycling event, which raises funds for pediatric cancer research and support services, brings together police officers, first responders, and community members in an inspiring ride across Vancouver Island. But tonight, it’s not just about the ride — it’s also about Neil Diamond and some hometown superheroes.
This year’s Tour de Rock will be extra special, as it features a Neil Diamond tribute concert to kick off the evening. Fans of the legendary singer can expect to hear classics like “Sweet Caroline,” “Cracklin’ Rosie,” and “America” as local tribute artists take the stage. With timeless hits and a cause that touches many hearts, the concert is set to bring together the community in a fun and meaningful way.
But that’s not all — tonight’s event will also have a superhero theme, inviting attendees to show up dressed as their favorite comic book characters. Whether you’re a fan of Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, or Batman, this is a chance for everyone, young and old, to embrace their inner superhero while supporting the fight against cancer.
Since its inception in 1998, Tour de Rock has raised millions of dollars for the Canadian Cancer Society, specifically helping children affected by cancer. Riders make their way across Vancouver Island, stopping in various communities to raise awareness, collect donations, and connect with locals who have been impacted by the cause.
In Campbell River, the community has always come out in full force to support the riders, and tonight promises to be no different. Residents will have the opportunity to cheer on the riders, meet the team, and donate to this life-changing cause.
