Woodbine is quite close to my home, and I have never been bothered by noise from this event.

Let's ensure we are handling all Toronto festivals equally. Two days is not too long, and although the there are always concerns with local residents in areas of there Toronto festivals, the benefits to these areas outweighs any short term inconveniences.

This festival has given us the opportunity to introduce a wonderful learning experience to our grandchildren that they would not receive any where else. Our world and our communities need these type of cultural celebrations.

This is an outrage! Afrofest is no louder than other festivals at Woodbine Park! It brings so much to our community and deserves to be two full days. City of Toronto reverse your decision.

This is ludicrous and the Councillors remarks incredibly condescending in her condembation of this music festival. Allow this 2 day festival to run as it has for years without incident.

These festivals are great for struggling beach businesses and wonderful for residents to enjoy throughout the summer. I thought the later hours were a GOOD THING!! Always disappointed when the great entertainment ends too soon. Nobody was causing any trouble and the Mandela vigil was so touching.

Funny how every other non-African-specific event and street festival never seems to have a problem getting approval, regardless of how much noise and disruption they cause. Quit being racist, Toronto.

Great music festivals make great music cities. Toronto wants to be world class, but constantly puts road blocks up for particular groups which ultimately, limits the city from being true purveyors of great cultural events. Come on , City, you can do better.
They will obey rules this year, they promised
