Not acceptable. Not ok. The city needs this event and this certainly raises flags when you are not shutting down other noisey festivala Downtown. Be consistent and fair or don't be in office.

So. Same sound levels as evrything else and a denial of permit. Frankly, this festival needs to go back to Queen's Park but failing that, please reinstate the 3 day permit

A long-time participant in Afrofest. Love this two-day festival, and hope it remains so.

Do not restrict the afrofest, two days is minimum time for event like this. We will survived, thanks for the time to organized afrofest.

It's completely ridiculous that this particular festival has been singled out. I wonder why AFROfest is having these problems. So. Surprising! Toronto the Good? Nope. Toronto the Racists.

What is the deal with Afrofest? Every social and cultural event/ festival should be filled with noise and people. It is all about togetherness.

If Afro fest is not allowed two days other more noisy festivals should not be allowed like Bestival etc. Afro fest is an icon to Canadian African culture and reducing it is plain discrimination

Why are you singling out one festival that happens to be geared towards celebrating African culture. Afrofest is peaceful and a staple in Toronto. This is discrimination. Shame on you councillor.

This is an excellent festival that makes our city special. I believe this decision is discriminatory and unfair targets people of African descent. Stand up for diversity and inclusion, keep our festival!
