Downtown Dover Chocolate Walk 2

Ticket 2016

Grab your friends & family and join local merchants for Dover’s first Chocolate Walk – a delicious trip around Dover’s quaint downtown shopping district!

The 1st Annual Downtown Dover Chocolate Walk is scheduled for Saturday, May 7th from 5:00-8:00 PM. During that time ticket holders will walk downtown Dover, visiting the many participating businesses, or Sweet Stops, and receive a delightful chocolate treat at each stop. As ticket holders make their way through the downtown, some treats will be enjoyed on the spot and others will be taken home to savor later. Every participant’s bag will be overflowing with an amazing amount of chocolate at the end of the evening. Only 200 tickets will be sold for the event, which are available for purchase at the Dover Public Library, 525 N. Walnut Street. Tickets will also be sold at: Bread Head Bistro, Country Mouse, McDonald Niklaus Framing, & John’s Sweepers. Tickets are $20 each. Proceeds from this event will benefit Downtown Dover projects funded by The Canal Dover Association–specifically the the Spirit of Dover statue project. An “after party” will be held downtown from 8:00-10:00 PM with live music, refreshments, and more.

Participants are to bring their ticket(s) to the Dover Public Library on Saturday, May 7 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Participants will be given a “passport” that lists the 25-30 participating businesses/organizations and a “goody bag” to hold their chocolate treats. For more information about the 1st Annual Downtown Dover Chocolate Walk, please call 330-343-6123. Sponsored by The Canal Dover Association and The Friends of the Dover Public Library.
