Celebrate Chevy Chase DC Day September 17, 1 - 4 p.m. hosted by the Chevy Chase Citizens Association (CCCA),  

Updates

We are very excited to present CCDCDAY this Saturday and the weather forecast looks promising. This is an event for our community and everything is free.

Since our last announcement, CCCA (chevychasecitizens.org) has added a great number of activities that our community should know about.  CCCA arranged for a great Zydeco Band, bounce house, balloon twisting artist, face painting, caricature artist, juggler, participatory yoga for all ages, an art display by local artists, free ice cream, cupcakes, and much more.

CCCA recently added: DCDOH Pop-up vaccine clinic, Zumba Dance Class, taekwondo demonstration, Hands on Hearts demonstration, and DC Police Department expired/unwanted prescription drug safe disposal.

A new event this year is a free raffle of valuable items donated by local stores. Happy Go, for example, is donating a brand-new child’s bike (see the image below). Local retailers are also donating valuable gift certificates for wine, cupcakes, mani/pedi gift certificate, and much more. Local restaurants and stores will have tables on Connecticut Avenue and offer discounts.

Local organizations will be staffing tables on the site. DC politicians will be available to answer questions about issues affecting Chevy Chase and the District.

The CCCA Board and Officers look forward to meeting you and hope that if you are not a member yet, please sign up. Stop by our table to get your free raffle tickets.
