Afro-fest and it continuation as a 2 day festival is vital for me, my business and our collective efforts as Afro-fest participants, to support the local and global African communities.

The message is crystal clear.Afro-fest is way too black for the mostly white Beaches neighborhood elites.They always try to shut down anything with black in it.They shutdown Phoenix Sunday club,tried to shut down Muzik & are working on shutting down Caribbean carnival.Good luck trying to find a black night club in Toronto.

I'm very dissapoint ed to hear the news that the city would limit such an event to 1 day....It's impossible to showcase and truly deliver a real cultural event that captures the African community.....I am absolutely outraged.

I'd like to quote Peter Toh: “The sound company we employ does most of the events at Woodbine Park, including Canada Day and Beaches Jazz festival concerts, and use the same sound equipment, crew and sound levels. The volume at Afrofest is no different than at those events but in our case they are being called violations.”
