The most wonderful time of year is here, and Glebe Spree is spreading joy throughout our beloved community! We're thrilled to share that the holiday spirit is alive and well, with over seven thousand ballots already submitted and an incredible $500,000+ spent supporting our local shops and businesses.
We're pleased to introduce our 2025 Early Bird winners.
Our first lucky winner is Brenda N., who won her prize from the charming stationery store, The Papery. Brenda is already dreaming of the possibilities, and she plans to use her winnings at Showpony Hair and Accent on Beauty in the Glebe!
Our second lucky winner is Marlise S. who won her Glebe Spree prize from the rejuvenating Third Avenue Spa.
Our sincere thanks to The Effect Healing Collective, our Early Bird Sponsor for their generous support in making these prizes possible. The Effect is a space for intergenerational wellness, led by Dr. Sadie Laronde. The team at The Effect approaches every interaction with genuine compassion, embracing healthcare through a wholistic lens that nurtures body, mind and spirit. Their commitment to our community truly embodies the spirit of this special season.
The strong participation in this year's Glebe Spree reflects the continued support for local businesses during the holiday season. With thousands of ballots already submitted, there is still plenty of time to shop local and enter for a chance to win. Every $15 purchase at participating Glebe retailer during the campaign period earns a sticker. Once you’ve spent $150 in the Glebe, you have an entry into the Grand Prize draw of a $2,500 Glebe shopping spree, which will be announced in January 2026.
Congratulations to our Early Bird winners!
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Glebe business community this holiday season. Stay tuned for more updates as the Glebe Spree continues until December 31.
