Salem Main Streets

Salem Main Streets would like to thank the many volunteers who made the Salem Farmers’ Market and the Visitor Information Booth successful.
The Salem Farmers’ Market had 20 vendors and ran for 19 weeks with attendance figures over 35,000. This exceeded all expectations for a first market and would not have been possible without their incredible efforts. The Visitor Information Booth served over 14,000 people on weekends in October and was a great resource for many visitors.

If you haven’t been downtown here is what you are missing…
Crowds, Costumes… The Boys and Girls Club fundraising in costume. Superheros looking very ordinary on an outing in Salem. Thousands of people enjoying the warm weather and so much more….

Yes, it has finally arrived….Halloween in Salem.

Halloween night there will be fireworks at 10:30 p.m. and live music downtown Salem, amazing costumes, balls and the unexpected. Both Friday and Saturday will be big nights in the downtown. If you’re going to be in Salem on Halloween night, check out the Main Stage on Washington Street at 10:30 p.m. when the Radio 92.9 Street Team will be looking for the best costumes in the crowd.
