Taste of the Danforth BEER GARDEN

Taste of the Danforth BEER GARDEN

Beautiful day. There were some shady spots. There was recorded music playing until 1:30 when the Greek band came on to play. There was a beautiful fountain, trees, and baskets of flowers to enjoy. You really didn't feel like you were sitting in the street, but in a park or patio garden. It was very relaxing. Some people brought the food they had bought from the street vendors and at it sitting comfortably at a table. Recommended. The beer was COLD but they only served Amstel Light. Go figure!

Amstel Light Gardens
Logan and Danforth at the Main Stage
Jones and Danforth
Come and sit back and enjoy a Amstel Light beer and take in some great entertainment.

The following is quoted from: http://tasteofthedanforth.com/bevgrds.html August 12, 2004. "We are using The KrinosTaste of the Danforth to feature Amstel Light because it is the perfect beer for a summer’s day," says Christopher Terrio, director of sales and marketing for Heineken Canada Inc., which owns the brand. "It is the beer drinkers’ beer, light on calories but not light on taste."

If a Dutch beer seems an odd choice for a Greek festival, consider this: Amstel Light’s more robust brother Amstel is Greece’s favourite beer, holding a 68% market share throughout the country. As Mr. Terrio says: "We figure Amstel Light is the perfect taste for The Krinos Taste of the Danforth."

Midway - Taste of the Danforth

Midway - Taste of the Danforth

It is a small midway but fun for small children. Teenagers would not be allowed on the rides as they would be too tall and the rides too tame. If my children were small, I wouldn't attend this event for the rides but they make a nice diversion for the young ones.
