Have the City officials heard how damn loud the Island and Exhibition concerts are? I can hear them at Bloor Street. What are you picking on this festival for?

Afrofest is a community building event and the reasons offered are unfair, discriminatory and detrimental to community building efforts.

Part of what makes this city great is the celebration of diverse artistry and the sense of community that festivals such as this brings.

This is not acceptable! Canada Day and Jazz Fest are fine, but an African music festival is not? Hmm,
Toronto is an inclusive city.

Another example of Canadian discrimination on the DL....Keep Afrofest, obviously people go to the event so why stop it? NOT fair at all.

As a neighbour of Woodbine Park who is very aware of noise levels in the area, I know that Afrofest is very respectful of the community in managing its volume levels and noise cutoff times. As a longtime arts journalist, I know that this is a festival of international importance that deserves every support that local government can give it. I hope the City of Toronto will make every effort to change its decision and give Afrofest its usual two days.
We want two days!
