Shambhala Music Festival is an annual music festival in British Columbia, Canada. It is held during the last week of July at the Salmo River Ranch, a 500-acre (2.0 km2) farm in the West Kootenay mountains near Nelson.[1] The festival lasts four days and three nights and offers a mix of music and art in nature.[2]
History

Shambhala began in 1998 and has grown to become the largest and one of the longest-running electronic music events in Canada.[3] It is a family-run event and operates without corporate sponsorship. In the summer months, the ranch becomes home to volunteers and event staff who prepare for and operate the festival.[4]
There are seven performance stages: the Living Room, AMP (AMPhitheater—previously the Rock Pit/the Jungle Pit), the Fractal Forest, the Village, the Grove (previously the Labyrinth, the Portal, the Inner Sanctum), the Grove: Cedar Lounge, and the Pagoda (previously Main Stage).[5]
In the summer of 2008, a DVD documenting the festival's ten-year history was released. The film "follows different characters through a year in the life of Shambhala from the perspective of DJs, people in charge, medical volunteers and others."[6]
In 2011 and 2012, Shambhala received awards for Best Large Event at the International Breakspoll Awards.[7][8]
In 2019, it was crowned Best Music Festival in North America by DJ Mag.[9]
The 2020 and 2021 editions of the festival were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event resumed in 2022.
The 2023 edition of Shambhala Music Festival took place from July 21 to 24.
