History
Shambhala began in 1998 and has grown to become the largest and one of the longest-running electronic music events in Canada.[4] It is a family-run event and operates without corporate sponsorship. In the summer months, the ranch becomes home to volunteers and event staff who prepare for and operate the festival.[5]
In the summer of 2008, a DVD documenting the festival's ten-year history was released. The film "follows different characters through a year in the life of Shambhala from the perspective of DJs, people in charge, medical volunteers and others."[6]
In 2011 and 2012, Shambhala received awards for Best Large Event at the International Breakspoll Awards.[7][8]
In 2019, it was crowned Best Music Festival in North America by DJ Mag.[9]
The 2020 and 2021 editions of the festival were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the event resumed in 2022.[citation needed] The 2023 edition of Shambhala Music Festival took place from July 21 to 24.[citation needed]
