The Taste of the Danforth is one of the highlights of Toronto’s summer festival season. Danforth Avenue between Broadview and Jones Avenues will be closed to traffic and transformed into a fantastic street party for 3 fabulous days - Friday, August 8th from 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM, Saturday, August 9th from 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM, and on Sunday, August 10th from 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM.

Toronto’s GreekTown is the largest Hellenic business community in North America and the third largest in the world after Greece and Melbourne, Australia. When the Taste of the Danforth was launched in 1994, it became the largest Greek festival in the world outside of Greece. Every year it has continued to grow and this year over 1 million people are expected to attend this multicultural event which of course focuses on the glorious food. Yes, this is a multicultural event. Although we think of the Danforth as GreekTown, and it is predominantly Greek, many other cultures and cuisines are represented at the festival including Japanese, Indian, Thai, Cuban, and Pub Grub. The Taste of the Danforth is absolutely FREE to attend. You only pay for the food and drink that you consume. All of the great music and entertainment for the whole family is free of charge.

The Taste of the Danforth is not only great fun and a foodie’s dream, but it has raised more than $850,000 for the Toronto East General Hospital and has named the neonatal nursery. Leave your cars at home. Driving and parking in the area will be a challenge, to say the least. The area is very easily accessible by TTC. Take the subway and exit at Broadview, Chester, Pape, or Donlands.
