Shambhala is now one of the biggest music festivals in North America. Although it was a smaller festival at the time of this photograph. The festival has happened every August in Salmo B.C for 21 years and counting, and it gets bigger every time.

Shambhala is important to the region because it brings lots of tourists to the area every summer. The festival also funds local arts and culture institutions such as the Selkirk College School of Music and Technology.
