Shambhala Music Festival is an annual electronic music festival held during the last week of July at the Salmo River Ranch, a 500-acre farm, in the West Kootenay mountains near Nelson, British Columbia.
Shambhala Music Festival was born from a vision as grassroots as it gets. On a sunny Labour Day weekend back in 1998, some 500 people gathered at the Salmo River Ranch for a party that showcased local art and music. From those early, heady days, Shambhala grew with enthusiasm by word of mouth, quickly becoming a staple event for the West Coast underground electronic music scene.
