Celebrate Dover This Plaid Friday & Small Business Saturday!
Your guide to every deal, raffle, and local goodie happening Nov. 28–29
Dover shines brightest when our community comes together — and nowhere is that spirit more alive than on Plaid Friday (Nov. 28) and Small Business Saturday (Nov. 29). These two days are more than shopping events; they’re a celebration of the entrepreneurs, artists, makers, and restaurateurs who fuel our local economy and give Dover its vibrant, one-of-a-kind personality.
When you shop local, you’re doing far more than checking names off your gift list. You’re keeping dollars in our community, strengthening neighborhood connections, supporting local jobs, and investing in the future of our city. Every coffee purchased, every gift found, every meal enjoyed — it all helps the city we love continue to thrive.
This weekend, dozens of Dover’s small businesses are rolling out special deals, raffles, treats, and giveaways to thank YOU for supporting Dover. Whether you’re strolling downtown in your finest plaid or spending Saturday discovering new favorites, you’ll find something wonderful around every corner.
Below is your complete guide to who’s participating and what they’re offering. Bookmark it, share it, and let’s celebrate Dover together!
