Shambhala Music Festival remains on alert for possible evacuation after wildfires spread


According to the Shambhala Music Festival website, the Salmo River Ranch has been put under an evacuation alert after the McCormick Creek wildfire jumped the Salmo River moving towards the festival.

An evacuation alert is NOT an order to leave, but attendees should plan ahead in case conditions worsen. Attendees should prepare for an evacuation by determining a well-rested designated driver and plan how to exit the festival grounds.

Festival organizers are also installing a temporary footbridge over the Salmo River as a second way to egress the festival in case of changing conditions.

Due to the fire spreading in the Metalline/Nelway area, the border has been closed until further notice. Alternative routes include Eastport/Kingsgate, Boundry/Waneta, Frontier/Paterson, and Oroville/Osoyoos.

The festival will continue providing updates on their Facebook, Twitter, and app. More information from the festival will be available this afternoon.

We will have more updates for you this afternoon. Until then, be safe, stay positive and dance to bring the rain! ❤️

About Shambhala:

Shambhala Music Festival was born from a vision as grassroots as it gets. On a sunny Labour Day weekend back 1998, some 500 people gathered at the Salmo River Ranch for a party that showcased local art and music. Since those early, heady days, the festival grew with enthusiasm by word of mouth, quickly becoming a staple event for the West Coast underground electronic music scene. Today it attracts world renowned DJs and artists and some of the most eclectic, energetic fans in the universe. The festival is built on Shambhalove which shines bright to this day.

Music is an integral part of Drew’s life, whether it’s listening to trance or house while working or at a festival. He’s always out to discover new and exciting sounds. When video games RollerCoaster Tycoon and Unreal Tournament were the hot new games, one of his friends that he knew through the community forums introduced him to trance on Digitally Imported and he soon fell in love with trance, happy hardcore, hardstyle and other fast BPM (beats per minute) genres.

    The science on anthropogenic (human caused) climate change is as settled as a fact can be.The sad thing is, while we will get some shift in wind and rain at some point, the underlying problem remains. Our politicians’ unequivocal determination to push the fossil fuel addiction, and the consequences of such policy: drier winters. warmer summers, more ferocious forest fires…….are heartbreaking and criminal.
