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.
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.
