Celebrating African culture but Caribana is still around. I don't remember any murders and stabbing at afrofest.

Afrofest is one of the highlights of my summers. I go to other music events at the same venue and hear the same noise levels. Hosting the Pan Am games torch relay was a civic service; they should be congratulated instead of penalized for that. Keep up the great work Afrofest!

The reason for cutting this to one day is a lame excuse.

This a completely unreasonable and inappropriate treatment of a festival and community that contributes to the Economic and cultural vitality of Toronto. If the event is NOT a 2-day event, I and my family will NOT drive up to Toronto from New York, and will instead choose to attend the Montreal JazzFest.

Toronto must do everything it can to continue to nurture diversity - especially in the arts. Protect what makes Toronto a genuine beacon for celebrating the rich interplay of (too often marginalized) culture.

This is a fantastic festival and should run for two days, the noise level is certainly no more than the Jazz festival which,runs for more than a week!

This festival is a fundamental cornerstone in the African community as well as for the larger international community. It is our pride and our professor, extending knowledge to our fellow non African brothers and sisters. Taking away from it in this manner is an insult to the many Africans who have contributed their time and talent, both past and future.
