Please allow afro fest to return to the 2 day event. This is the ONLY African event held in toronto at this scale and allows an amalgamation of all African countries. If this rule is permitted, it should serve to follow all summer festivals...otherwise it can be perceived as bias.

Reducing a popular festival to one day is not a solution.

Dropping this untainted cultural festival down to one day is ridiculous in my opinion. Pretty obvious that I oppose this fully.

For a city that spent a truckload of taxpayer money going down to Austin, Tx for SXSW hoping to become Music City north, you sure have a funny way of showing it. I attend Afrofest every year, this festival is no louder than any of the other festivals held at Woodbine Park. This smells of discrimination plain and simple. I love this culturally rich festival, don't let the NIMBY's control the city.

This is such a peaceful festival.Noone ever gets shot or harmed during the Afrofest! I don't see the city taking away any other festivals that happen through out the summer! #saveafrofest

From two days to one day because of alleged violations...seriously now. Feels like nursery school politics.

We should be supporting this festival instead of shutting it down. Why is it being target instead of the Jazz festival???

It is not right to do this to such a glorious festival that embraces all of Torontonians.

This is the only significant event dedicated to African culture in Toronto.
