Shambhala began in 1998 as a grassroots gathering of 500 people on founder Jimmy Bundschuh’s family-run farm in Salmo, British Columbia. They have challenged the traditional festival model by not accepting any corporate sponsorship and not allowing alcohol. They also have an industry-leading approach to harm reduction. Today, Shambhala Music Festival is still Canada’s longest-running electronic dance music festival after 24 years of operation. The independently run music festival takes place annually. Each year, festival-goers have the chance to experience the best of what nature has to offer throughout four blissful days while witnessing hundreds of world-class artists across six unique stages, each curated and run by their own stage directors.

Billboard has called it, ‘the northern stronghold of the West Coast transformational festival circuit.’

Rolling Stone has listed it among ‘the seven most transformational music festivals on earth.’  

DJ Mag named it the ‘Best Music Festival in North America’ in 2019 and 2022.

CBC has called it, ‘an enduring piece of the live music scene in British Columbia.’
