The 2012 Glebe Street Fair is back to excite and amaze in its 29th year.

On Sunday 18th of November, Glebe Point Road will come alive with over 250 stalls of fabulous arts and crafts, gourmet food and irresistible bargains, accompanied by live music, performance acts, street theatre and children's activities.

This year, the fair is under new management. Local businesswomen Roselle Gowan and Shuba Paheerathan have been working "around the clock" since May after winning the contract with the Glebe Chamber of Commerce.

They are hoping to attract more than 200 stallholders to Glebe Point Road on the 18th November and have already got plans for 41 events throughout the day.

"We're very excited to be celebrating this iconic event with the Glebe community," says Ms Gowan, Creative Event Director of the 2012 Fair.

"We're looking forward to bringing every person in Sydney back to the city's most historic suburb, to enjoy its musical sounds, delicious tastes and eclectic wares."

One of Gowan and Paheerathan's first actions after taking over the management was to organise a meeting with local businesses to discuss ways to improve the running of the event. About 35 business owners turned up at the Junktique Emporium to thrash out issues which have caused problems in the past, such as the layout of stalls on the day of the fair.

"There was an overwhelming consensus that the fair should celebrate the qualities that Glebe is best known for – its diversity, history, friendliness, vibrancy and culture. Our goal is to take the event back to its grass roots origins as a small country town within the bustling metropolis of Sydney," says Roselle Gowan. "We want to showcase local talent and spread the word about the charms and idiosyncrasies of Glebe."

One of Sydney 's longest running annual events, attracting more than 100,000 people every November, the Glebe Street Fair is run by the Glebe Chamber of Commerce. The Fair is run on a not-for-profit basis, with proceeds being used by the Chamber to support a variety of local community projects.

And with delicious gourmet food, eclectic arts and crafts, live music, kids' activities and a whole lot more on the menu for this year, the 2012 Glebe Street Fair is sure to be bigger and better than ever.
