Only six months away!

Cheverly Day 2016 is just a little over six months away! Join your friends, family, and neighbors on Saturday, May 21, to celebrate 85 years of life in Cheverly. We’ll have a parade, great music, food and drink, fireworks, and loads of activities and attractions sure to please!

We’ve come a long way from 1931 – an era of tremendous challenge and sacrifice, but also a time of people working together in communities. We enjoyed the music of Cab Calloway, Kate Smith, and Guy Lombardo, and movies by Charlie Chaplin and Bela Lugosi. Did you know that The Star Spangled Banner became the official National Anthem of the United States in 1931? The first Donald Duck cartoon and Dick Tracy comic launched that same year, and the Empire State Building and George Washington Bridge in New York opened. Lou Gehrig played his 1,000^th baseball game. Babe Ruth hit his 600^th home run. And Cheverly, Maryland, was incorporated on April 18, 1931.

We’re looking forward to sharing Cheverly’s 85^th anniversary with the entire community, and we need your help. Start planning those parade floats and entries now! Want to get involved in planning the big event? We’d love to have your input. Email cheverlyday@gmail.com to lend your support.
