Dover Honda Signs on as Dover Holiday Parade Sponsor

Dover Holiday Parade Launches 2026 Sponsorship Campaign

Planning is underway for the 2026 Dover Holiday Parade, and organizers are pleased to announce Dover Honda has signed on as the parade's lead Platinum Sponsor, continuing a partnership that began when the Cochecho Friends resurrected the parade following the COVID-19 pandemic. This marks the fifth consecutive year Dover Honda has supported the community tradition.

Scheduled for Sunday, November 29, 2026, this year's parade will feature the theme "Yule Be Sorry – Holiday Mishaps and Bad Decisions Tinged with Regret," inviting parade participants to put a humorous spin on holiday blunders through festive floats, performances, and creative displays.

Now entering its fifth year as organizer of the Dover Holiday Parade, Cochecho Friends, a dedicated group of volunteers, continues to preserve a cherished City tradition. Today, the parade thrives thanks to the support of volunteers, sponsors, and the greater Dover community. 

"We're incredibly grateful to Dover Honda for once again stepping forward as our Platinum Sponsor," said Lori Nollet, Chair of the Dover Holiday Parade Committee. "Their commitment gives us tremendous momentum as we begin this year's sponsorship campaign and allows us to continue growing an event that brings our entire community together."

Several additional local businesses have already pledged their support for the 2026 parade, including Cinco's Cantina; Raiche & Co; Burns, Bryant, Cox, Rockefeller & Durkin P.A; Leone, McDonnell & Roberts P.A; Martel Plumbing; Jewelry Creations;  Noggin Factory; and Shaheen Gordon P.A.

Cochecho Friends hope even more local businesses will join the effort. Sponsorships are available at multiple levels, allowing organizations of all sizes to support the parade while gaining visibility before thousands of attendees.
