It has been unsettling for Afrofest family to learn that the popular festival has been trimmed by the city to a one day event from a two days cultural fest.
The city of Toronto recently decided to provide Afrofest a single day permit only. A huge online petition flooded the city of Toronto immediately following the decision .
After a meeting between organizers of Afrofest and the city of Toronto, a deal has been reached torestore the two day permits for the fest .
This year Afrofest will be held June 9 and 10, 2016 at Woodbine Park and is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of attendees. The annual Toronto Afrofest is the largest free African music festival in North America.
