I live a block from Woodbine and Afrofest is no louder than the other dozen festivals happening there every summer. Support!

The city of Toronto is on the verge of losing its reputation as the most inclusive and cosmopolitan city in North America. Afrofest must be allowed to retain its format.

If Toronto wants to be "Music City" it needs to support great festivals!

Let's keep Toronto on the highly ranked list of the most open-minded, culturally diverse, barrier-free and fun City! Please bring back the 2 day AfroFest! Thank you.

I tweeted about this ridiculous move by the city yesterday. The tweet is sitting at 24K impressions, with over 5K engagements - and that's just in one day, on one social media platform.
This is unjust, unfair and a terrible example of NIMBY. There are residents who have also said Afrofest doesn't cause any more noise pollution than your typical festival held there, so who are you really listening to and satisfying? This is a family event, always has been, always will be.

This should not be an issue. There are numerous festivals throughout the summer at Woodbine. I have never heard of complaints. This is a cultural festival, important not only for us but the rest of Toronto too.

This is fabulous festival and also generates income for many people. Sounds like the city is very confused about its priorities.

I have been attending this festival for the past few years and it is one of the best, most positive and family friendly events Toronto offers it residents and guests every summer. To reduce it to one day is a dis-service to the people and a blemish on a city and its government who praises multiculturalism and inclusion but can't seem to hold up in action.

There are ONLY two main African free events each year for millions of people off ALL stripes, regardless of borders from hence they came including me. Please DO NOT take away that which all of us look forward to each year. PLEASE
