On Tuesday, September 21st, the Chevy Chase Citizens Association and the Avalon Theatre are co-sponsoring an event called "Celebrating Community at the Avalon,” at 5612 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. As the name suggests, the event provides an opportunity to celebrate and recognize our Chevy Chase DC community.  

As part of the celebration, the Avalon has generously offered to provide $1.00 back to customers on the purchase of admission to either of the last shows in the Avalon 1 or Avalon 2 Theater. The films, which will start around 8:00 or 8:15 pm, will be those regularly featured that week and will be announced once they are scheduled. In addition, the Association will distribute free, reusable nylon bags with our “CCCA” logo to the first fifty attendees. There will also be a pre-movie social period starting at 7:30 pm, with food and drinks available for purchase in the adjoining Avalon Cafe. Anyone wanting to come for just the social period is welcome to do so. 

Our Chevy Chase DC community benefits from various organizations that promote vital community interests. Our Association fosters community in many ways, including regular informative meetings, a Neighborhood Watch Program, a garden club, art exhibitions, and beautification projects.

As an independent, nonprofit theater, the Avalon offers exciting and diverse programming that includes outstanding first-run commercial films, independent and foreign films, documentaries, film festivals, and special programs for families and seniors.
