Shambhala Music Festival is a haven for many reasons, among them its progressive health services, its detailed and dazzling stages, its refreshing lack of corporate sponsorship, its consistently awesome musical lineups, and, perhaps most of all, its attendees, who are affectionately known as Shambhalovelies.

Shambhalovelies are the heart and soul of the event. They create the welcoming and open-minded vibe, they support the festival's cutting edge initiatives, and they help keep the Shambhalove alive and thriving. You can't go one foot across the festival grounds without running into smiling faces, warm hugs from strangers, silly costumes, or old friends.

Below are beautiful portraits of Shambhalovelies in all their glory.
