Severe Weather Cancels Major US, UK Community Events

Multiple outdoor community events across the US and UK have been canceled or postponed due to severe weather, rain, and safety concerns. The 50th Memphis Pride Festival & Parade, scheduled for June 7, was canceled in response to severe weather forecasts, with organizers emphasizing community safety and the ongoing spirit of Pride. Peterborough's 'Eid in the Park' event for Eid al-Adha was called off due to rain and soggy grounds. In downtown Fort Wayne, the first 'Lunch on the Square' event of the season was canceled because of rain, but the series will continue on Thursdays through August. Weather forecasts warn of patchy rain and designate Saturday as an 'impact day' for the Midwest, signaling more potential disruptions. Organizers expressed regret and stated intentions to reschedule or continue festivities when conditions permit.
