Taste of the Danforth, which was set to return in August after a two-year pandemic hiatus, is under logistical constraints that may not be solvable, according to one of its organizers.
Toronto is on track have the first normal summer of the decade — concerts, parties, parades — you name it, it’s set to come back.
The way the street is now, there won’t be enough space to sell to advertisers who pay for the festival every year, according to Mary Fragedakis, chair of the Greektown on the Danforth BIA. CaféTO and related programs have been fantastic for restaurateurs, Fragedakis said, but they are incompatible with Taste of the Danforth. Business owners don’t have the means or space to disassemble and store everything themselves. In some areas, curbs are extended with heavy tree planters and stones screwed into the street.
Losing out on Taste again would be crushing for restaurant owners, many of whom barely survived the pandemic via loans and must now contest with rising labour and food costs, as well as rent.
