You cannot kill the only festival that celebrates a continent and keep supporting specific countries. That is just oppressive and weak minded. We need our government to be progressive and reporative of any damage caused before they were appointed. Show us that you can be a leader in social relations and restorative justice.

Requiring the festival to be reduced to one day or to begin on Friday will make the event inaccessible for patrons throughout the GTA. Please allow the event to continue as it has in past years.

Afrofest is a family event and is a peaceful event that encourages black people to socialize with each other without violence. People complain about the boredom in Toronto and council is planning to make it more boring.

This is unfair, we have one weekend a year to celebrate our culture and the city wants to shut it down!?! I thought Toronto was all about multiculturalism and fairness? This is not a good look to other cities in Ontario or our other provinces in Canada. Come on Toronto alot of places look up to us. Let's do the right and fair thing here.

No cultural event should be subject to a council trying to dictate the festivals model. They should be proud that a community comes together with only one goal, have fun and celebrate Toronto's Afrofest!

It would be a shame to get rid of the Afro fest. Good food - great music and lots of fun.

Afrofest is a Toronto cultural icon in terms of global recognition of the event itself and Toronto,ON Canada. Many attendees know traditionally when it is every year and plan the dates a part of their annual schedule of full weekend events for the first weekend after the Canada Day weekend. Afrofest adds to the 'richness' of the city in all senses of the word to the city and its citizens as well as the attendees. . Keep it as a full weekend event as it deserves.
