Toronto’s beloved east-end street festival, Taste of the Danforth, is returning this year after three years of cancellations due to pandemic restrictions and logistical issues last summer.

That place is an overpriced tourist trap.

In the 90s you could get fair sized portions at a reasonable price without all the people.

Now you get tiny portions at an insane price with wall to wall people.

I avoid it now.

Me too, it became a miserable experience many years ago. That goes for pretty much all of these street festivals. Victims of their own success.

Yeah i gave up going as well. Last time i went i got some wicked food poisoning from one of the food stands. Spent a good 24 hours hugging my toilet bowl. Not sure what i was thinking that day. Food sitting outside for god knows how long in hot humid weather, what could possibly go wrong? I now avoid all street food and stick to restaurants with running water and refrigeration! 😆

The CNE has running water and refrigeration. The Food Building has likely seen many people taking the browns to the super bowl.
 
Saw this on Yonge today, 1 April.

Took my youngest to the Big on Bloor street festival on Sunday. It felt more bare than in past years, and we were both utterly bored within 10 minutes. These things are so poorly done here. I love the idea and concept of street festivals, but the execution is utterly lacking.

I attended Taste of the Danforth this afternoon. The crowds seemed about the same size as the recent pre-pandemic years. It was certainly less packed and chaotic than the Agoraphobia-inducing crowds of the aughts.

I did notice a drop in the number of vendors, with plenty of 20+ person lines for food stalls.

I’m not one for meat on a stick so I grabbed a pint at The Only Cafe.
