With August just around the corner we are reaching the last month of summer. There are many notable events occurring in Toronto; one of which is the Greektown Taste of The Danforth.
This is the 16th year of celebrating the Taste of Danforth – it is sponsored by Pilaros Kicks.
Being one of Toronto’s signature events, it is definitely a must see with your family and friends.
At the Taste of Danforth, you will be experiencing the best of Hellenic food, culture, and music that our multicultural city of Toronto has to offer. This means the best souvlaki in Toronto, authentic Greek music and plenty of great interactive games for the kids.
The whole event is truly a lot of fun and interesting in the respect that you are involved in another culture that isn’t your own. The event is always busy but it doesn’t tarnish the whole atmosphere. It almost makes it better because you are interacting with plenty of people all the time.
The Taste of Danforth began in 1994, and in that year there were only 5,000 attendees and 23 restaurateurs participating. Then in 1995, we saw a dramatic increase to 100,000 attendees and in 1996 there were 500,000 attendees!!
Pilaros has been sponsoring the Taste of Danforth ever since 1997, and today we have over 1 million people attending this event – coming from Ontario, Quebec, and Northern USA.
You guessed it; they are coming for the food, entertainment and best of all, the atmosphere.
The Taste of Danforth will be held on Friday August 7th, 6 – 11 PM; Saturday August 8th, Noon – 11PM and Sunday August 9th, Noon – 8PM.
The Taste of Danforth will take place along 2.5 kilometres of Danforth Avenue in Toronto’s Greektown.
A bit of advice for families who might venture out to the Taste of Danforth; finding parking is one of the hardest things to do. You should consider going early to find a prime parking spot. For those who will be going later at night, I can guarantee you will be walking a good distance to get in the Taste of Danforth; parking will be the only worry you have and from there you can go out and enjoy yourself.
Hope to see you at the Taste of Danforth; it is bound to be a great time.
