Abbotsford, B.C., denies permit for MAGA singer Sean Feucht’s show, citing protests
By Canadian Press on July 31, 2025.
ABBOTSFORD — The City of Abbotsford in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley says it will not issue a permit for a concert by Sean Feucht, becoming the latest Canadian cancellation for the American Christian musician who’s outspoken in the Make America Great Again movement.
The city said in a statement that the permit for a proposed Aug. 24 show at Mill Lake Park is being denied because of the potential for protesters and counter-protesters.
B.C. Conservative legislator Heather Maahs, who represents Chilliwack North, says on social media platform X that Abbotsford’s decision “undermines the principles of an open, democratic society.”
Maahs says the cancellation raises “serious concerns” about freedom of expression, religion and peaceful assembly.
Feucht ran unsuccessfully as a Republican candidate for Congress in 2020 and has been criticized for remarks on the LGBTQ+ community and abortion.
Six of his concerts in Central and Eastern Canada were cancelled last week.
“Given the recent publicity surrounding the proposed event, the city believes that the event could potentially attract significant numbers of protesters and counter-protesters in addition to attendees,” the City of Abbotsford says in the statement.
“These factors, among others, make the community safety considerations of the proposed event extremely difficult to mitigate, and the city found that no permit conditions could adequately address the potential risks to the public.”
Feucht criticizes the cancellation on X.
“You can no longer call Abbotsford the ‘Bible Belt’ of B.C. when they cancel outdoor worship to Jesus,” Feucht says in the post.
Feucht is also due to play in West Kelowna on Aug. 23, and the city said earlier this week that it was reviewing safety and security plans for the private booking and there were “increased concerns” about the concert.

I hear a lot of accusations that he is a full fledged MAGA following, but there is no evidence other than he ran as a Republican candidate. His ideology is not from MAGA, it is from the Bible!
He has proven that Christians are been persecuted in Canada, while terrorist paid protesters burn our flag, call for the death of all Jews, death to Canada, and we are Hamas, with impunity, while a Christian band and ministry is ‘cancelled’.
Matthew 10: 14-15
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
Genesis 12:3
I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
This is a direct violation of our Christian right to practise Christian praise, worship and revival and for all those who don’t see this, WAKE UP!
