Salem CultureFest this Weekend

This weekend Salem will be the site of the third annual Salem CultureFest: Travel the World without the Airfare!

The Salem Culturefest is a two-day event (Saturday 10am-8pm; Sunday 10am-6pm) that showcases many cultures and styles through live music, community organizations, unique arts, crafts, and culinary foods. Everyone is welcomed to attend this fun family-friendly event.

In addition to two days of fantastic music, there's lots for kids and families to do throughout the day, including cultural games, crafts including drum and mask making provided by Salem schools, Origami with the Peabody Essex Museum, karate demonstrations, scavenger hunt, pony rides and a moonbounce.

On Saturday evening from 4pm-8pm Salem CultureFest will convert the Common into an International Food Court. Take a culinary trip from the Americas to India to Ireland to Asia and back again, courtesy of more than a dozen North Shore restaurants. Live free entertainment provided by Mystafine, Joh Carma and the Mamadou Band.
