Getting Ready for Your First Shambhala Music Festival

Getting Ready for Your First Shambhala Music Festival

First Shambhala? Welcome to the Farmily. 💜

Maybe your friends have been telling you about the farm for years. Maybe one live set was all it took. However you found us, your first Shambhala Music Festival adventure starts long before you reach the dancefloor.

Held at the Salmo River Ranch in British Columbia, Shambhala brings together electronic music, epic dancefloors and a whole lot of shambhalove. Here’s a little inspiration to get your planning started: 

Six Stages, Endless Discoveries

Ask the Farmily for their favourite stage and you might start a very passionate conversation.

From grooves at The Living Room to bass at The Village and funky adventures in Fractal Forest, our six unique stages each have their own personality. Get to know them before you arrive, but leave room to wander. Your favourite moment might happen somewhere you weren’t planning to be.

Make Yourself at Home

Your campsite is where the trinket sharing, outfit changes and wholesome farmily chats happen. 

Explore our Free Camping and ShambhaLodging Options and chat with your crew about what route you want to go with. It’s never too early to start planning: think comfy sleeping gear, shade and a little personality. You’ve got plenty of time to dream up your home on the farm.

Plan the Journey, Then the Outfits

We love a good festival outfit. We also love a prepared Farmily.

Before you start packing the outfits, explore our festival travel and packing guide. Start sorting your ride (check out our Official Shuttles), make a shared packing list and save our Shambhala FAQs for those questions that pop up along the way.

See You on the Farm

Shambhala Music Festival 2027 takes place July 23–26, 2027. Tickets are officially sold out, but if you missed out, consider joining the Crew! It’s a great way to get involved with the festival and help create the ShambhaMagic. 

Until then, keep dreaming of your first dance under the trees. We can’t wait to welcome you Home. ✨
