Mozy & Me Named Grand Marshal of 2026 Dover Parade

The Dover Holiday Parade is pleased to announce Mozy & Jeff Bernstein of Mozy & Me as the 2026 Grand Marshal of the annual holiday celebration, taking place in downtown Dover on Sunday, November 29, 2026.

A familiar and much-loved part of the Dover community, Mozy & Me will help lead this year’s festivities as the parade brings its wonderfully regrettable holiday theme to downtown. “We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this year’s parade than with Mozy & Me leading the way,” said Dover Mayor Dennis Shanahan, Cochecho Friends Volunteer. “They’re a wonderful part of the Dover community, and we’re excited to have them as this year’s Grand Marshal.”

The Grand Marshal announcement is just the beginning of the excitement surrounding this year’s parade. The Dover Holiday Parade is also celebrating strong support from local businesses and community partners.
