Canada’s Favourite Festival is Back!
From Friday, August 7th through Sunday, August 9th, 1.5 million attendees will gather on Danforth Avenue for three unforgettable days celebrating food, music, culture, entertainment and community. Not to be missed.
Taste of the Danforth has always been a celebration of Greek heritage. Today, it is also a celebration of Toronto’s diversity and Canada’s multicultural spirit.
As Chair Tony Pethakas says:
“Greek heritage will always be at the heart of Taste of the Danforth. At the same time, the Danforth has evolved, just as our city, province and country have evolved. Today the Festival reflects a diverse and inclusive Canada—with a dollop of tzatziki on top.”
