5:00 PM — Dover After Dark: A Downtown Mystery

There’s a mystery to solve in downtown Dover this fall!

On the first Thursday of each month from September through December, participating downtown businesses will stay open from 5–8 p.m. for Dover After Dark, a free, four-month mystery adventure.

Pick up a Detective Log at any participating business, then explore downtown in search of characters hidden inside each shop. Find each character, mark them safe from suspicion, and use the process of elimination to narrow down the suspects and uncover the culprit.

You don’t have to visit every location in one night. The same mystery continues throughout all four months, so keep your Detective Log and add to it each time you participate. The more clues you collect, the closer you’ll get to cracking the case.

In December, turn in your completed Detective Log for a chance to win prizes and gift cards from local businesses.

Dates: September 3, October 1, November 5 & December 3, 2026
Time: 5–8 p.m.
