This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fredericton Pride announced its decision to cancel the two-week festival through social media posts late Thursday night, citing "harassment board members have received."
"In order to ensure our own safety, that of our performers, and our volunteers … Fredericton Pride has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2024 festival."
Board chair Jenna Lyn Albert confirmed the cancellation to CBC News but declined an interview.
The announcement comes after organizers abruptly cancelled a fundraiser drag show, Silver Linings, at the Monarch Night Club, Wednesday "due to unexpected safety concerns."
The board's decision to name Fredericton Palestine Solidarity as the grand marshal of the Pride parade, which was scheduled for July 21, also sparked controversy in recent weeks.
On Friday, the New Brunswick Coalition for Transgender Rights offered in a social media post its resources and support "to ensure we still get to have a Pride Festival & march this year."
