THE SCENE
Shambhala is, and always will be, completely free of corporate sponsorship and is funded solely by ticket sales. It grew organically by word of mouth – friends bringing friends – from a gathering of 500 or so in ’98 to the small city of 12,000 it is today. Ticket sales are capped at 10,000, keeping it an intimate gathering. A dedicated crew of 2000 keep our city, the largest city in the West Kootenays for five days, running smoothly. Shambhala is held annually in early August on the pristine Salmo River Ranch, and boasts 6 uniquely themed stages. We aim to bring you the best in up & coming electronic music talent from around the globe every summer, along with well-known favourites.

Why is there a different date for this festival on the festival website? http://www.shambalafestival.org/essential-info/
Two different festivals. This one is a Canadian fest — there’s a slightly different spelling with the ‘h’ in the title. The dates for this festival guide are correct.
