Music festival that was cancelled due to wildfire is back on for a final night
SALMO, B.C. — A weekend music festival in southern British Columbia that was cancelled due to an encroaching wildfire was put back on Sunday, although an evacuation alert remained in effect for the area.
Organizers of the Shambhala Music Festival said in an email Sunday that damp, cool weather downgraded the threat of the fire moving close to the Salmo River ranch property where the event is held.
“We invite all our guests to stay and celebrate with us for the final night of our 20th Annual Shambhala Music Festival,” organizers stated in the email.
“Music acts might not continue as scheduled, but we will have a new schedule for this evening.”
