Most cities celebrate Halloween for a weekend. Salem turns almost the entire month of October into one giant Halloween event. 🎃✨
Haunted Happenings fills the historic Massachusetts city with costumes, parades, ghost tours, haunted attractions, markets, street performers, and thousands of visitors wandering between old buildings tied to Salem’s famous 1692 witch trials. After dark, the whole downtown feels completely transformed. 🕯️👻
What makes it so memorable is the setting. You are not walking through a temporary Halloween theme park. You are exploring a real colonial city with centuries of history while nearly every street, shop, and attraction leans into the season. 🧙♀️🍂
