Glebe Street Fair
The Glebe Street Fair is one of Sydney’s longest running annual events, attracting more than 100,000 people every November.
This year’s theme is “the beat” with performances from all over the world.
The Glebe Street Fair has always had a strong connection to the Glebe community. It is run on a not-for-profit basis, with proceeds being used by the Chamber to support a variety of local community projects.
I also have it on good authority that there will be a visit from Santa.
