Salem Haunted Happenings

Salem, MA

Salems month-long Halloween-season festival of parades, ghost tours, haunted houses, costume balls, and harbor cruises throughout October.

Each October the entire Witch City becomes the festival, its cobbled streets thick with costumed crowds, candlelit tours, and the smell of autumn. The Chamber of Commerce Grand Parade kicks things off, psychics and harbor cruises and the Witches Halloween Ball fill the weeks, and a thousand smaller hauntings flicker between them. The largest Halloween-season gathering in New England.
