Dover is where history meets modern charm, where small-town friendliness meets big-city energy, and where every visitor leaves with a story to tell.
The holidays aren’t just about the gifts we give, they’re about the community we build. This Thanksgiving weekend, Discover Dover NH invites you to slow down, stay local, and experience the magic of a city that shines brightest when we support one another.
There’s something extra special about Dover on the first Friday of the month - the lights are glowing, shops are bustling, and neighbors are out enjoying the simple joy of shopping and dining local. First Fridays, also known as Shop Local Late, invites you to explore downtown from 5–8 PM, when our local businesses stay open a little later to welcome you in.
Dover is about to shine brighter than ever—and you can help make it happen! Our downtown is getting a holiday glow-up thanks to a new community initiative called Festive Fronts. From twinkling lights and colorful storefronts to a sparkling community tree and winter murals, we’re bringing warmth and wonder to the streets of Dover this season. Find out how you can be part of this magical transformation.
