Dover Night Out will be held on Thursday, July 21st at Henry Law Park in downtown Dover. The event starts at 4:00 pm and concludes with a fireworks display over the river from 9:00 – 9:30 pm. The rain date is August 4th.
Dover Night Out is a free, fun-filled event for people of all ages, in a tobacco, alcohol and drug free environment. Live music and entertainment on 2 stages will take place throughout the evening, including the popular Beatles tribute band All Together Now, who will play starting at 7:30 pm and continue to play through the fireworks.
Six different rock bands will play on the hatch shell stage in the front of Henry Law Park. A variety of other types of music will be available on the riverfront stage in the rear of the park. In addition to the fireworks and music, other highlights this year include police and fire demonstrations and displays, such as the Dover Police K-9, the Mounted Patrol, and some specialty vehicles.
Dover Rotary is sponsoring an area specifically for kid’s activities. The Rotary Kid’s Area includes a giant inflatable bouncer, giant slide and similar attractions. There will also be dozens of health and wellness displays; dance performances; and food vendors.
