One of the best festivals in TO. Noise disturbance? seriously? Shut down the city then.

the city left Afrofest alone for close to 15 years at Queens Park - supportive politicians outnumbered the cops on the scene at any given moment as the festival grew to nearly 100k people. This is a festival which has thrived on genuine cooperation between organizers, talent and community. Now their new locale and their narrow-minded councillor have little regard for what a unique phenomenon this is not just for Toronto but North America. Restricting this festival to one day is a cultural travesty, a narrow minded act of racist NIMBYISM. Don't do it

Too nice a festival to slash like that. Means a lot to so many people. I'd gladly sleep a night or two with earplugs to keep our city vibrant.

Afrofest is an amazing community driven event... There's no value in cutting it back.

Is Afrofest is reduced to one day and not allowed to enjoy the same sound levels as other events like Canada Day, it will be impossible to veil racist motivation.

This is one of the hallmarks of summer and taking it away is a complete injustice. Why is this the only festival that is subject to the noise ordnance.

Seriously, our children and families need the educational festival. It has provided a positive and platform environment for african descendants to learn and share their culture and identity. Please save our city!
