We LOVE Afrofest. This country and city needs more culture, not less, so stop destroying it.

Please help support this wonderful event as it should be celebrated over the 2 day weekend. It's hard enough not having it at Queens Park any longer. Help make Toronto great again!

What possible reason can there be to continuing to push out of central venues and limit the activities of a huge event that brings visitors and tourist dollars to the City, except nefarious and ugly ones? This needs serious reconsideration and a careful examination of the underlying assumptions, and lack of accompanying evidence, that are fuelling these requests. Resident discomfort with summer weekend noise is not an acceptable reason to stop hundreds of thousands of citizens and constituents from celebrating their or their neighbours’ culture.

Been going since I was a teenager and my father is part of Music Afrika... I think it would be a crying shame if this festival suddenly stopped. Hopefully my added voice helps.

This festival needs support and promotion, not more hoops to jump through. Same goes for Muhtadi Drum Fest.

Toronto is a multicultural city. African culture should be treated just like other cultures. This kind of discrimination creates a slippery slope....what should we expect next? 3 days out of 365 days is not asking for a lot!

I have been a Toronto resident all of my life and Afrofest is a celebration of our shared culture. Shame on the City Council for trying to bury this very important part of our heritage. Not to mention it brings a lot of money into the City. Disappointed, again. Peace.

Afrofest is the largest African music festival in North America and brings hundreds of tourists to Toronto every year. What's wrong with you people?

First they kicked Caribana out of downtown, then they kicked Afrofest out of downtown. Hmmmmm.....
