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.
