The Holiday Parade returned Sunday in Dover, and Cochecho Friends, the group that organized the parade after a 2 year hiatus, is already looking ahead to next year's event.

The Dover Parade is back after a two-year hiatus, and marks the start of the holiday parade season in the Seacoast region.

"We really want to have fun this year. It's been three years, and we're just so excited people can come out and be in person," executive director Nicole Gregg said.

The show will be part of the many events being held to celebrate Portsmouth's 400th anniversary.
