Shambhala

About

Shambhala Music Festival is a unique electronic music festival held on a private ranch in the Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1998, it draws around 15,000 attendees to a remote forested setting along the Salmo River. Shambhala is fiercely independent — it has never had a corporate sponsor and operates entirely on ticket sales. The festival is known for its six uniquely designed stages (each with its own artistic identity and sound system), world-class bass music programming, and a strong emphasis on harm reduction, community, and leaving no trace. The sound systems at Shambhala are legendary in the bass music world.
