We're getting excited about Oktoberfest!

UPDATE: Because of the rain, Oktoberfest has been moved to Fannon Hall at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, 3107 63rd Street, in Cheverly. We're looking forward to celebrating with you!

After you've spent a wonderful morning at Cheverly Community Market on October 12, stick around and enjoy Oktoberfest, sponsored by the St. Ambrose Men's Club. Celebrate Cheverly's own version of the world's biggest festival with traditional Bavarian and folk music, as well as food (including homemade German pretzels, bratwursts, and kraut), and a terrific Biergarten featuring traditional German Oktoberfest and wheat beers (purchase a commemorative stein to celebrate the occasion and receive a free fill-up!) There'll be hot dogs and lots of family fun, so make sure to make your way to Town Park from 11am to 5pm on October 12!

Special Event following our October 12 Market!

Thank you for a wonderful start to autumn!

Thank you to everyone -- vendors, community groups, volunteers, customers -- who joined us for what may have been one of the best Markets we've had since opening in 2008! It was the perfect way to welcome autumn, and we certainly fell in love with Cheverly all over again!

We'll be posting photos soon. We now have a three-week break until the next Market. We'll be back on October 12 with all sorts of wonderful vendors, groups, and special events...including the St. Ambrose Men's Club Oktoberfest, right after the Market! And don't forget -- our two annual special Markets are just around the corner. If you are interested in becoming a vendor for the Thanksgiving or Holiday Markets, download the guidelines and application on our website. We are a producer-only market, and we're looking forward to sharing your work with Cheverly! The application deadline is October 21, so get to work!

As always, thanks for sharing your Saturday morning with us at Cheverly Community Market!

This Week at the Market: Mississippi Earl's Bayou BBQ

This stuff just gets better and better...and better! Join the St. Ambrose Men's Club and Mississippi Earl's Bayou BBQ for some excellent, authentic BBQ pulled pork and wonderful smoky ribs this Saturday starting at 10:00. We hear from the head BBQer that they're going to bring more ribs this week, so hopefully they won't sell out in an hour, but we can't promise anything, so make sure to head over early...this is just to good to miss!

This week at the Market: Mississippi Earl's Bayou BBQ

At our last Market in August, we welcomed a very special new vendor: Mississippi Earl's Bayou BBQ, served up by the St. Ambrose Men's Club. They were, unsurprisingly, a resounding success. And there's a good reason: It. Was. So. Good. If you were fortunate enough to get a sandwich, you know. Juicy, aromatic, slow-cooked pork on a bun? Yes, please.

This Saturday, Mississippi Earl and the boys (well, men) return to the scene with those delicious sandwiches and smoked ribs! With a variety of homemade sauces -- including our favorite, a dark, spicy jalepeno-coffee number -- you can't go wrong.

Mississippi Earl's Bayou BBQ will be available from 10am to noon and to go orders are welcome.
