Just one more great event downtown Salem. Salem will again be decorated beautifully for the holiday season. From a downtown holiday tree in the East India Square Fountain to evergreen wreaths, Salem is dressed for the season. To top it all over 35 downtown businesses are decorating their windows especially for the holidays. People are encouraged to come downtown starting Friday, November 27, take a look at the windows and vote at any participating business. All ballots will be entered into a holiday stocking contest. The winner of the ballot contest chosen December 11 will receive a holiday stocking filled with gifts and gift certificates. Come downtown and vote!

Check out the Salem Farmers’ Market every Thursday from 4 – 7 p.m. in Derby Square on Front Street. As the growing season changes different items will be for sale each week. For the first week Gibney Gardens had a beautiful array of plants…



Salem’s very own Maitland Mountain Farm brought farm fresh eggs which were a hot item and sold out very quickly…


Chef Tony Bettencourt from Sixty2 on Wharf Restaurant provided a cooking demonstration…

Opening day entertainment included music by Qwill and Will Faust and Emily Rousso and children’s activites by A.L.L. Thank you to the Lobster Shanty for holding an opening day fundraiser for the Salem Farmers’ Market!
