Calleva operates public events and outdoor programs at Calleva Farm in Dickerson, Maryland. The organization stages a variety of seasonal experiences that combine outdoor recreation, community gatherings, and farm-based dining. Signature offerings include the SPOOKY SPOKE races (a themed course with a 5k bike race, a run, and a kids' fun run), Tastes of Calleva progressive dinners, the Dirty Dinner four-course communal meal, Pizza Nights on the Farm, and a Mini Taste program tailored for homeschool families.
Events on the farm highlight local growers, craft beverage producers, and culinary artisans. Many programs emphasize fresh, locally sourced ingredients and create direct opportunities to meet the farmers and artisans behind each plate. Activities take place on the farm’s grounds with open-air dining, live music, nature-focused activities, and family-friendly entertainment.
Calleva’s programming is designed to welcome a wide range of visitors: families, cyclists, food enthusiasts, and community members seeking outdoor events in Montgomery County.
