Deep in the Shambhala forest lies a special place that has quietly evolved over the years. A welcoming dance floor surrounded by towering cedar trees, lush pathways, creative installations and cool forest lounge areas. The Grove is an invitation to immerse yourself in a fully interactive environment that celebrates music and dance amongst BC’s natural setting. The organic stage orientation provides a beautiful backdrop to it’s renowned music line up and theatrical performance art. After sunset, The Grove transforms with a full spectrum Funktion-one sound system and state of the art lighting designed to enliven and free the senses. Alongside the dance floors – you will undoubtedly be drawn to the Grove Art Gallery, Tea Hive and Secret Garden.

At the beach stage, you can kick off your shoes, make yourself at home and cool down in the sacred waters of the Salmo River. Enjoy the familiar, chilled-out Living Room vibe that wraps its arms around you at the most crucial times–whether it be a short break from the madness during peak party hours or some sunny relaxing riverside with your friends.

Shambhala is our farmily’s home, so naturally everyone is welcome in the Living Room. Disco funk soul and rare groove fun by day, transforms by sunset into a mix of even heavier grooves, tasteful house vibes and all other sorts of electronic obscura-teaze, showcasing some absolute legends in the dance music scene. Enjoy a bumpin’ PK system with a full array of LED panel visuals, lights, and lasers. The Living Room is a candy buffet for the senses. Come meet your new best friends under the sister cedars and see first hand why ‘We love lamp!’

The Pagoda is a temple of myth, lore, and legend. The seven-story house of worship has been designed by the Pagoda stage Druids as a symbol of the collective love felt by the people who gather to connect with each other at Shambhala. It is said that when dancing beneath the Pagoda people can also connect with their true selves.

The Pagoda channels the energy released by our farmily’s fears, anxieties, insecurities and negative emotions, completely destroying them and leaving nothing but a feeling of Shambhalove and connectedness. In this process, the Pagoda transforms into almost anything you can imagine. Mystikal creatures, Gothic temples, spirits, animals. We have even seen it change into a hamburger. Pagoda is setting the bar for the future and the past of dance music. It’s timeless connection with the global musical journey is meeting here for you under the trees at Shambhala.

The Village Stage is an experience unlike any other; an immersive environment surrounded by decorated paths and the treehouse walkways of your childhood dreams.

Under the Village Stage's amazing form, you will find the world’s greatest talents in both the electronic and analog realms. Expect to be transported to another dimension at The Village. The stage is entirely stage decorated in an ancient tribal dialect, which, is mostly a mystery…with one exception; a recurring glyph that has been roughly translated as “Krinkoia”. Experts believe this was an ancient tribe of aliens that may have crash-landed on Earth many ages ago, and that perhaps The Village was a place of their worship; a place of togetherness.
