Cutting the duration of Afrofest will be a huge cultural loss.

This event has enabled me meet other African friends who have made a great impact in life. Limiting two days to only day it's just not fair because other cultures events have not been limited.

I have attended Afrofest and have never noticed excessive noise or any other neighbouring disturbance. This move to shorten the festival simply seeks to marginalize visible minorities and their allies and the City of Toronto is better than that.

This is ridiculous. If the bourgeoisie beachers can't handle it, we would be happy to send it back to Queen's Park which I thought was a better location anyways.

Why don't they reduce the Beaches Jazz Fest? It is way more inconvenient for the locals, infinitely louder, has riot horse police every year since 2012 to avoid the vandalism, continues to get longer...yet Councillor McMahon reinforces racism by standing behind the BS excuse of resident complaints. Afrofest is the one weekend when you see more PoC in the Beaches than any other time of year. As a resident who lives in the heart of the Beaches, bring back the full weekend event!
