When the news broke, it was awful. Freedom Festival had the same issue. But the City of Toronto appears to have had a change of heart and is now allowing AfroFest to use Queen's Park as their venue. When such a decision is made, especially when a festival is in the midst of arranging vendors, musicians, etc. it can be devastating for the festival as they would find it harder to find another venue at such short notice. Thankfully, this was not the case for AfroFest. And hopefully, not ever in the future! Yes, agreed. When the news broke, it was awful. Freedom Festival had the same issue.
