Apple Harvest Day is Dover's signature fall festival — a day-long family event in downtown Dover featuring nearly 350 vendors, crafters, food and live entertainment, with a main stage and an acoustic stage in the Cochecho Mill courtyard. First held in 1985, it now draws more than 60,000 people, making it one of the most popular regional festivals in New Hampshire. No ticket is required to attend (donations to the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce are welcome). A free shuttle runs from the Brady Sullivan Campus at 100 Liberty Way to Washington Street from 9am to 5pm. There is no rain date.
