It started in 1993, and in 2013 completed its 20th year of this event which celebrates Greek food and culture.The owner of Papa's Grill, a Greek cuisine on the Danforth stated Taste of the Danforth has "grown exponentially and we are still experiencing growth 20 years to the day" This event generally occurs the second weekend of August. Past attendance numbers have reached as high as 1.6 million people over the three-day event. Approximately 3 kilometres of Danforth Avenue is closed from Broadview Avenue to past Jones Avenue for the festival. ==Food and attractions== Greek food includes pork, chicken, and beef souvlaki, spanakopita, loukoumades, gyros, and roast quail.

Thousands have been coming here in recent years and they are planning to continue to go strong. Existing stores and restaurants are also open during the festival, usually opening up their stores to the streets for customers.
