The decission is purely that of a racist. I have noticed that theses leaders including mayors don't even show up during the two day events.

Other festivals go way later and are way louder, let them stay! Great festival for the area.

The city's actions are what racism & white privilege look like in Toronto, even in 2016. Afrofest is no louder, and ends earlier, than the annual Beaches July JazzFest. Afrofest is amazing & we need it to grow & get bigger & longer!

AfroFest is an important part of Toronto's history and for our communities as a whole.

We need more culturally diverse events in all parts of the city. I've lived (own a home) in the Beach for over 20 years and businesses are dying...just look at all the empty store fronts. The NIMBY's do not represent me. It is not a hardship by any means to the community to listen to music for a few hours over 2 days .

I'm not sure why this festival has now become a problem when it has been around for a long time. There is never any violence, and it is a very peaceful and enjoyable gathering celebrating the beautiful continent of Africa.
Taking this festival away from Torontonians would be akin to taking away Caribana, Taste of Danforth, Jazz Festival and any of the Ribfests held throughout the summer. The reasons given for such a drastic change are not fair and quite frankly no logic rests within them either.
I ask the city to reconsider and let us keep Afrofest for both days.
