Shambhala 2022 Dates Have Been Revealed
After the unfortunate postponement of the famed Canadian music festival two years in a row, Shambhala is set to return to the Salmo River Ranch next summer. The 23rd edition of the family-run festival was initially slated for July 2020, but due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns the gathering was rescheduled for late August 2021. Unfortunately, the event was then shelved for a second time earlier this year.

Shambhala Music Festival to Open a Campground for Summer 2021
While festival season is still very much up in the air, Shambhala Music Festival just gave fans something to look forward to in summer 2021. In an announcement posted on the festival’s Facebook page, festival founder Jimmy Bundschuh announced that his family farm—where the festival takes place—will be open as a campground in summer 2021. While many festivals rent space to produce their event, Shambhala is in a unique position to pivot to the campground model since the owners live and work on the farm all yearlong. “I know so many people have missed being on the farm this past summer, swimming in the Salmo River, camping and relaxing in our beautiful valley,” Bundschuh wrote. “Please rest assured during 2020 the team wasn’t sitting back waiting for life to ...
