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.
