    Plaid Friday in Dover, NH: Flaunt Your Plaid and Snag Exclusive Deals at Local Retailers!
     
    November 29, 2024, Dover, NH – Dust off your best plaid attire and get ready to shop like a cozy lumberjack!

    • Dover is embracing the spirit of community and cozy plaid attire to kick off the holiday shopping season in style. On November 29, 2024 (the day after Thanksgiving), local retailers invite you to don your finest plaid and enjoy exclusive deals, festive treats, and a delightful shopping experience in the vibrant City of Dover.
     
    • Plaid Friday celebrates the diversity and creativity of local and independent businesses. It's a fun and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday” consumer frenzy. Businesses urge customers to shop locally and enjoy choosing gifts in a more leisurely fashion. Posted as 10 am to 6 pm, some businesses will be open earlier or later.
     
    • Event Highlights:
      • Exclusive Deals: Wear plaid to score amazing discounts and promotions at many small businesses.
      • Festive Fun: Enjoy holiday-themed activities, music, and treats as you shop.
      • Support LOCAL: Discover unique gifts while supporting Dover’s cherished local businesses.
      • Free Parking: Park free downtown during the event.
     
    • “This event brings a wonderful sense of togetherness to our community,” said Susan E. Hanna, local gallery owner & member of Visit Downtown Dover. “The name ‘Plaid Friday’ was chosen from the idea of weaving individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates independent businesses.”
     
    • Shoppers can check deals by participating small businesses at www.VisitDowntownDover.com. Follow the fun on social media with the hashtag #DoverPlaidFriday and share your best plaid looks and shopping finds!
     
    • Dover small business owners have been meeting monthly (or more often) for over a year to share ideas and coordinate events that bring vibrancy to our city. Our goal has been to educate and entice residents and others to visit and support local businesses. These are unofficial efforts by local business owners who are collaborating to strengthen the fabric of our city.
