Same here.
I wonder if the behind the scenes admin costs have limited participation this year.
This may be a blessing in disguise however for some street festivals though if I am not mistaken, Taste of the Danforth was canceled for this year?

And the city says it's on target to have all but a handful of applications processed within the next few weeks.”
And yes, far fewer applications this year because of fees, and also less pressure to have seating.

Fascinating - is the streamlined process this year a result of Chow's influence?
