Deep in the Kootenay Mountain range, the Salmo River Ranch begins its
annual transformation. Arcadian pastures evolve into a futuresque
setting on an epic scale. Encircled by nature, a community rises,
sharing a common goal, celebrating a collective love and respect for
music, art and humanity. For five days and four nights time ceases to
exist.
This is the crucible of artistry and musical mayhem. This is the zenith of modern underground entertainment.Explore the Six Originally-Themed Stages View the Stage Schedules Browse the 2008 Performing Artists
For the past 3 years, Shambhala has welcomed an audience of 10,000. Despite the numbers, Shambhala remains at heart an intimate occasion. Artistic and musical talent, imaginative costumes and remarkable individuals fuel the vibe of Shambhala, sowing the seeds of inspiration in a safe haven where nature and artistic expression entwine.
Shambhala is a revolution in its own right with a complex simplicity that draws back thousands of devoted fans each year and reaches out to new ones. Shambhala is a journey, an adventure, a life altering experience, and not least, a place to just let loose and dance, dance, dance.And after four ecstatic nights and five dreamy days,
the show winds down. The time comes to put aside the enchantment and
depart the magical realm for the hustle and bustle of that other life.
Despite sad faces and reluctant partings, there is a sense of purpose,
of peacefulness and accomplishment...of satisfaction...and of plans to
return. These five days of Shambhala are the days you wait for the
other 360!
