This cultural event is important if people of Africa decent and people who love to celebrate African culture. Making it a one day festival will definitely negatively impact the community.

I'm signing because I love Afrofest and I believe it needs to be displayed in two days to maximize the value of African culture to its participants. There's just way to much to do and see in one day. Also I don't want this to turn into Caribana where they take it over and then profit off the blacks by charging entry and controlling the festival.

You are being very unfair when it comes to the celebration of the African people's culture. We live in a society where we celebrate the diversity of all cultures without prejudice, this decision is truly not supported by the people of this city. I hope the Gods hear our cries and give us justice.

We can't stand still when what is a celebration of us appears to be so insignificant that it's easy to take it away; what does that really say about us?

We need to keep the current format of Afrofest. This event is an important part of the tapestry of Toronto. Changing the format will undoubtedly affect the impact of this festival in a negative way.

Seems we're following a country that is very much in trouble and about to enter, imo, a race war. It's inconceivable that this place called Canada, which professes the ppl here are much better than the American mentality, wants to imitate the United States. Shame on them. #Blacklivesmatter

I love this festival and have attended since its inception until I moved out of the city. Its an amazing cultural exchange and worth more than the two day time-frame alloted. I've made great friends there and have many fond memories. I also brought friends and exposed them to the joy of african music. Please reconsider and return the original slated two day format. Let the african music play on!

Afrofest is a staple of my childhood that allowed me connect to my culture and that of amazing Africa. It would be a shame to take away an opportunity to bring together a community.
