posted on 9/25/2025

The Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce (GDCC) is pleased to announce that First Seacoast Bank will once again underwrite Apple Harvest Day, now celebrating its 41st year. Apple Harvest Day is a day-long family event featuring 300 vendors, great food, live entertainment, and more. 

Annual Apple Harvest Day will take place on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The inaugural Apple Harvest Day was held in 1985 and now draws more than 60,000 people to downtown Dover, making it one of the most popular regional festivals. The event features 300 vendors, two different entertainment stages, children’s entertainment, two food courts, and the Apple Harvest Day 5K Road Race.

“We are excited to welcome residents and visitors alike to Dover’s premier fall festival,” says GDCC President Margaret Joyce. “As downtown parking is limited on Apple Harvest Day, free shuttle buses will be operating all day from our remote parking location at 50 Liberty Way, off Sixth Street.”
