The Glebe stretches south along Bank Street from the historic Rideau Canal down to Lansdowne Park. Characterized by leafy side streets and classic storefronts, The Glebe is Ottawa's epicenter for independent retail champions—from running and cycling specialists to vinyl outposts and fine stationery boutiques.
Black Friday in The Glebe is known for community-driven sales, personal service, and independent businesses offering thoughtful gift alternatives to mass-retail doorcrashers.
