Start off your Cheverly Day experience at Cheverly Community Market – May 31 also
marks the opening of their 2014 season, which runs every other week, 8am to
noon, in the Community Center Parking Lot. You’ll find terrific fresh, local
foods that will get you ready for a full day of celebrating and for the week
ahead. Visit www.cheverlycommunitymarket.com
for more information.
From 10am until 5pm, we encourage you to take the Cheverly Day Shuttle, sponsored by
Dimensions Healthcare System. The shuttle will stop at locations throughout
town – see
our website for details.
In the 11am hour, we greet some fierce competitors: the Annual East vs. West Softball Tourney, sponsored
by Foulger-Pratt, begins practice at
11am on the Baseball Field for the noon game, and the Annual 3 on 3 Basketball Tourney gets going in the Community Center
Gym. 
All that competition is sure to make you work up an
appetite! Visit our food vendors – Good
Times Catering, Chef Neil’s Wraps,
Jamaican Gourmet, LoBu Natural Beverages, Simple Pleasures Ice Cream, and Funnel Cakes. And what would Cheverly
Day be without our beloved St. Ambrose
Men’s Club Beer Garden? We have your favorite dining options from years
past and some amazing new finds this year – truly something for every taste!
At 1pm, Cheverly Day games get going – and this year, we are
covering the whole park! The Midway,
sponsored by Cheverly West, fills the tennis courts with moon bounces,
ride-ons, and classic carnival games. While you’re at the ticket tent, make
sure to pick up your 2014 Cheverly Day
t-shirt, and take a look at our “vintage” offerings, too! Make your way to
the basketball court for our Cheverly
Day Miniature Golf Invitational, and to the grassy, tree-filled area
outside of the tennis courts for the Ping
Pong Adventure Flume and Laser Tag,
Visit the lower parking lot for three tournaments: Corn
Hole, Foosball, and the Marshmallow Long Drive. 
We welcome our Community
Groups, Organizations and Politicians at 1pm – the tables on the
greenways in front of the Community Center will be filled with activities and
lots of information. And 1pm marks the opening of the Honey Bees and Birds of
Prey/Reptiles exhibit. Make sure to stop by and meet these great members of
our community – you’re sure to learn something new!
At 2pm, get ready for the First Annual Cheverly Day Bike Rodeo in the upper parking lot! Kids
can demonstrate their safe riding skills on a special obstacle course and
everyone is welcome to donate used bikes.
Our stage opens at 3:30pm, with FREE music from some of the
very best performers the DC region has to offer: Elements of Cosine, Nasar
Abadey + Supernova, The Alfredo
Mojica Quintet, Pan Masters, and
In Da’ Cut featuring Ishan Bila. We
are grateful to Joseph Smith & Sons/JSS Metals for sponsoring the Cheverly
Day Stage this year. Make sure to visit our website for the complete
entertainment schedule.
After the sun goes down, the day concludes with the Mayor’s Awards, the National Anthem
performed by Renee Johnson, and FIREWORKS!
This year, Cheverly Day really is More than the Sum of its Parts. And we’re looking forward to
sharing all those parts with you! Visit our website,
this blog, and Facebook
throughout the week – we’ll be adding new information to get you ready for the
big day. And follow us on Twitter
– use the hashtag #CheverlyDay to share your Cheverly Day experiences.
Cheverly Day 2014 is made possible with generous contributions
from many individuals, as well as Dimensions Healthcare System, Joseph Smith
& Sons/JSS Metals, Foulger-Pratt, Pepco, and Cheverly West. Thank you for
your support.
We'll see YOU on Cheverly Day!
