Prepare for a memorable summer weekend at Shambhala Music Festival with the set times, the map, and other essential information!

One of the most anticipated festivals of the summer, Shambhala Music Festival, is upon us. Gracing the gorgeous valley of Salmo River Ranch in BC, Canada, on July 20-24 for the 24th edition, things are expected to run smoothly and efficiently – but it’s always smart to come extra prepared with all the necessities. Attendees are already planning to arrive at the grounds Monday night to get in line to score a sweet camping spot, with the grounds allowing access as early as Tuesday. For those crossing the border from the US, expect a longer trip to get through customs safely!

Reminder To Mind Your Belongings:

Unfortunately, many have reported pickpockets, bag slashings, and theft of wallets, smartphones, purses, and other valuables during festival season. While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, some opportunistic people come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting partygoers, and it’s important to be mindful of your valuables while at Shambhala Music Festival.
