Celebrate The 4th
In Dover!


The Fourth in Dover continues to grow! No longer just an evening show, the 2008 Dover Fourth of July Celebration will include historic exhibits and tours throughout the day, the American Legion parade, four hours of musical performances on Legislative Mall, more children's activities and more vendors, leading to an exciting fireworks finish. Check out the full day's schedule.

In case of rain or thunderstorms: Please note that we will make every attempt to fire the fireworks on Friday evening. If rain or thunderstorms occur Friday evening and then it clears up, the fireworks will go on, though they may be delayed from the scheduled 9:20 start time. The fireworks may even be fired in light rain. In the event of bad weather Friday evening, we will attempt to post updates on this site and on our information line, (302) 674-7579. The events through the day and evening will be decided based on the weather conditions at the time.

Please consider supporting the Fourth of July events. Business and organizations are encouraged to become an Official Sponsor of the Fourth. For individuals and families, you can Adopt-A-Firework by paying the cost of individual firework shells that will light up the night on July 4.

Dover's Fourth of July events are made possible by the generous sponsors listed here, with considerable support from the City of Dover, State of Delaware, Dover Air Force Base, American Legion Walter L. Fox Post No. 2, Kent County Tourism, Main Street Dover, Downtown Dover Rotary Club and Tudor Electric.
