What a shame that the City is truncating this summer event--at a time when the black community needs more opportunities to come together and demonstrate pride.

This is a cultural celebration. If noise has been an issue give an earlier curfew. A one day celebration hurts the attendees not the organizers.

Afrofest is an event that sends a positive vibe to people that get the chance to experience it.
It was once held at Queens Park which upset many being moved to Woodbine park which was further and people from far and near still managed to attend this wonderful event.
This eveny should still remain as a 2 day event.
Also benefits the city!

It's a beautiful festival that showcases African culture in so many aspects such as food, music , crafts, etc.It needs to maintain its two day event schedule! We need this in our city!

I feel this is clear indication by the city they are not interested in black cultural events, in my opinion we should have for 3 days. The mere fact that the gay pride events can have a week but we cannot have 2 days is incromprehensible to me. However it shows how they feel, we will meet at the next election and you will see the strength in our numbers.. quote me

The beaches jazz festival causes much more mayhem and disrupts TTC service, so why aren't the residents of the area asking to shut that festival down?
Afrofest isn't my music scene but I deeply respect the festival, the music and the musicians enough to sign this petition .
Bad move City of Toronto, bad move.

this is a great opportunity to have a diverse environment and meet people from different walks of the world. Taking it away would be to take away the essence of Canada.

Please allow Afrofest to maintain their two day festival as planned. This festival is a wonderful celebration of culture and is highly awaited by many Torontonians, as well as visitors to the city. Placing violations and restrictions on a festival which has done everything in their power to cooperate with the city and has certainly done no different than the many other festivals held in the same location, is a clear display of discrimination and should not be tolerated.
