SHAMBHALA MUSIC FESTIVAL TO OPEN A CAMPGROUND FOR SUMMER 2021

SHAMBHALA MUSIC FESTIVAL TO OPEN A CAMPGROUND FOR SUMMER 2021

While festival season is still very much up in the air, Shambhala Music Festival just gave fans something to look forward to in summer 2021.

In an announcement posted on the festival’s Facebook page, festival founder Jimmy Bundschuh announced that his family farm—where the festival takes place—will be open as a campground in summer 2021. While many festivals rent space to produce their event, Shambhala is in a unique position to pivot to the campground model since the owners live and work on the farm all yearlong.

“I know so many people have missed being on the farm this past summer, swimming in the Salmo River, camping and relaxing in our beautiful valley,” Bundschuh wrote. “Please rest assured during 2020 the team wasn’t sitting back waiting for life to get back to normal, we worked all summer to build a new campground to help you get closer to home.”

Camping has long been a part of the festival’s experience with over 17,000 people descending on the 30-acre Salmo River Ranch for the four-day festival. Ordinarily, the festival offers four campgrounds and five different lodging packages. How the space will be organized for the campground is still unclear, but a few changes have been announced.
