Come join us at the second annual Glebe Halloween Village for a fun and free daytime trick-or-treating event that everyone can enjoy!
If you or your loved one have ever missed out on Hallowe’en because of your access needs, we want to welcome you to the second annual Glebe Halloween Village!
Please feel free to reach out to us with any specific access concerns or questions (glebehalloweenvillage@gmail.com). We want this event to be fun and comfortable for as many people as possible.
An enthusiastic group of volunteer neighbours and community members are delighted to present the Glebe Halloween Village again this year!
This event is perfect for families looking for a fun and accessible Halloween experience.
Head over to Glebe Avenue (between Lyon Street and Bank Street) on Saturday, October18th, 2025 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for a memorable experience filled with treats, costumes, and community spirit. (Rain Date Sunday, October 19th, 2025)
The block will be transformed into a free, accessible daytime trick-or-treating experience with so many things to see and do:
- treat stations at the ends of driveways (with food and non-food treats)
- visitors from The League of Superheroes
- a make-and-take craft station
- a Flow Recreation Therapy regulation station
- so many kind and welcoming neighbours of all ages!
We look forward to welcoming children (and those young at heart) with mobility, sensory, or intellectual disabilities who may not typically get to participate in trick or treating!
We will be collecting donations at the event for anyone who is interested. You can donate to the Glebe Halloween Village and our future events because, from the interest in this event, we know we need to do more in the future! You can also donate to the Ottawa Food Bank because people in our community are facing hunger.

Glebe Gets a Spring Refresh with Help from the Ottawa REDBLACKS
Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and joined us on Friday, April 25 for this year’s Cleaning the Capital event.
In partnership with the Ottawa REDBLACKS and Campanale Homes, we were proud to bring together over 25 volunteers who helped pick up litter and freshen up streets throughout The Glebe. Their efforts made a visible impact, and we’re grateful for the time and energy everyone brought to the day.
As part of our Spring Clean the Glebe business initiative, The Glebe BIA provided complimentary window cleaning to 10 local businesses, helping them shine just in time for the busy spring season. We also supported a signage refresh project in collaboration with the talented team at Sunny Street Studio.
A special thank you goes out to Bloomfields Glebe and Capital Home Hardware, who launched custom spring promotions to support our business community during the event.
From beautification to local pride, this event was a great example of what we can accomplish together.
Stay tuned for more Glebe-provements coming soon.
