The annual Taste of the Danforth is a large food festival held over 2½ days in mid-August.
With no admission charge, the event welcomes all to enjoy modestly priced samples of cuisine available at restaurants along the stretch of Danforth Avenue from Broadview to Jones Avenues.
Greek food prevails, but there are numerous options, including Thai, Chinese, Brazilian, Indian, Japanese and others.
A midway offers games, children's rides, and interactive sports that include a climbing wall, street hockey and basketball.
Several stages offer musical entertainment spanning the globe, with one stage emphasizing Greek performers of music, song, and dance.
The event has grown substantially since the first Taste, in 1994, when 5,000 attended.
In 2008, it drew over a million people, moving to 1.5 million by 2015.
