"You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig.”Let'call this for what exactly it is,racism at its ugliest.The Beaches snobs are not comfortable with so many black folks having peaceful fun in their mostly white neighborhood.You can't possibly get louder than the Jazz festival,their attendance dwarfs Afrofest. Also not to mention the rowdy teenagers it brings along.The attendance for Jazz festival is over a million people at minimum.You mean to tell me 40 00 or so people are louder than million people?Damn Africans, you are loud:)

I have been to numerous concerts and events held at woodbine Park and to say Afrofest violated the noise policy is really not fair. I've experienced louder concerts there but only Afrofest is being said to violet the noise... Afrofest used to be held downtown, and was moved, as a multi cultural city I believe the city has not truly accepted the African culture that is so much part of it...

It would be completely discriminatory to penalize Afrofest and shorten this event.

There are numerous noisy festivals during the summer, such as Nuit blanche. This argument against Afrofest seems quite senseless to me.

Festivals such as this one are important to our city. It was better when it was at Queen's park, in the shade of the trees.

Disrespectful and down right prejudice. Toronto is a multicultural city and should be treated as that. African culture is important to the hundred thousand people in Toronto and the hundreds of thousands of people who support this event each and every year.

This is the best festival in the city. Family oriented, good food and great music. Too bad they took it out of Queen's Park.

I am highly disappointed about the way the African community get pushed to the corners in matters that enhance and foster growth in the community. Please we will love to retain Afro-festival as we have always had. I really think 2 days is not too much to ask for in celebrating the only African festival in Canada.
Sincerely,
Blessing Irabor.

This is how cities start cultural divides in our city. Keep the two day festival!! It brings us together as a city. Why mess with that.
