SHEDIAC, NEW BRUNSWICK
The Shediac, NB April 24, 2020 - It is with great sadness that the Shediac Lobster Festival announces the cancellation of its 71st edition, which was scheduled to run from July 8-12, 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The safety of our festivalgoers, staff, volunteers, partners and artists is clearly our priority. The organization supports the Government of New Brunswick’s recommendations and urges you to follow the suggested guidelines so that we can start planning again for the festival that is so important to us all.
