If you're vaccinated (and boosted, especially), you have very little to worry about, other than possibly having mild symptoms for a couple/few days.
If you're vaccinated and don't want to go due to concern about potentially getting a bit sick, then don't go. Or if you're not vaccinated, then don't go.
This variant spread is happening, and it will continue to happen. And another variant will very likely emerge in the near future.
But again, we have remarkably effective vaccines.

I think an organizer making a decision to cancel an event is in the same bucket as someone personally deciding not to go. They are weighing risks to themselves, their workers, and reputation. I don't think we should go back to government shutdowns, but at the same time there's no way I'd go ahead with a large social event having witnessed what I've seen over the past 2-3 weeks. It's only slightly less stupid than getting on a cruise ship right now.
