"This is Canada’s premiere Electronic Music Festival. Cutting edge Talent, Lights and Sound come together in Paradise to give life to a non -sponsored family run anomaly. Experiencing it for yourself is the only way to understand exactly what is Shambhala." - source
*NELSON, BC is about 41km from Salmo, and is the largest town nearby; boasting a population of roughly 9, 258, but don’t be fooled... in 2010, Nelson issued over 1200 business licenses! Part of Nelson’s pride comes from the way the majority of residents support locally owned and operated stores rather than big business chains and franchises. Nelson is known as the #1 small arts community in Canada. Enjoy exploring this creative landscape!*
Gorgeous and quaint artist bungalow for 4 avail Aug 8th-14th for about $600!
