Why is it so important to reduce the days for which this happens?
Where is the promotion and support for tradition and culture?
So much for being an being an accepting country.

I am appalled to learn that the City is making moves to limit Afrofest. This festival is so important to the cultural vibrancy of our City! If noise is an issue, why not shut down the Air Show and the Indy? These outdated noise and air polluters contribute far less to a sense of community and belonging than the beautiful gathering that is Afrofest. I interpret the move to limit Afrofest nothing less than discriminatory. I strongly support this festival.

this is an important cultural event in the city. Nobody closes down Taste of the Danforth or the Air Show for the noise they create! Why then reduce an international music festival to one day?

I think it is disgraceful that Black people and their culture continue to be marginalized in "Toronto the good". There appears to be a concerted effort to make Black folk invisible OR to coral and criminalize them! Disgusting!

I'm not even going to beat around the bushes because this is clearly another obvious and blatant racist decision. Noise has never been an issue and location has never been an issue with ANY OTHER white function. Be it a sports event or anything else... Whoever came up with this decision is obviously power tripping and listening to their inner racist self! Period !
please keep the festival for two days

Cutting Afrofest back to one day is WRONG!
