Dover Spring Fling
Saturday, May 10th | 10 AM – 5 PM | Downtown Dover, NH

Spring has officially arrived in Dover, and it’s never looked better. Thanks to amazing local volunteers, downtown is sparkling clean, flower beds are blooming, and the trees are bursting into green. The only thing missing? You!

Here’s why you don’t want to miss this year’s Downtown Spring Fling:

Chalk & Bubbles

Pick up free sidewalk chalk at shops like Hip Finds, My Country Story, and Eight Legged Octopus, then let your kids turn the sidewalks into a masterpiece. Bubble machines will fill the air with joy and magic as you stroll. It’s like walking through a fairytale.

Sales, Sales, Sales!

It’s the perfect day to shop small and score big. My Country Story’s $5 Sidewalk Sale is reason enough to come downtown—but there are deals all over. Stroll shop-to-shop and see what treasures you can find!

Play All Day at Henry Law Park

Need to let the kids burn off some energy? Just a block away, Henry Law Park is the perfect pit stop. The playground is wide open, and there’s plenty of room to picnic, play, or relax while the kids run wild.

Grab a Cone

Yes, it’s officially ice cream season—and Dover Delite is OPEN! Take a break from the chalk, the sales, and the walking for a cool treat. No Spring Fling is complete without a swirl cone and a smile.

Really Good Vibes

Dover’s Spring Fling isn’t just an event—it’s a celebration of community. You’ll see familiar faces, meet new friends, and fall in love with our walkable, welcoming downtown all over again. The weather? Glorious. The shops? Buzzing. The feeling? Pure joy.

Mark your calendar, grab the kids, bring your camera, and come downtown this May 10th.
Let’s celebrate spring, small business, and everything that makes Dover so special.
