11th Annual Salem Halloween Children's Day


This Saturday (rain date Sunday) the 11th annual Salem Halloween Children's Day hits the Common with inflatable jumper rides, games, pony rides, food, free balloons for all of the children, and a good safe time for all! There is a costume contest at noon, and free registration begins at 10:30 am. Prizes will be awarded in four age divisions. These events are sponsored by The Gathering & Domino's Pizza. For more information, call 978.744.8444.

This weekend (October 10-11-12) feels like the real kick-off to Haunted Happenings. The Chamber of Commerce's annual Haunted Biz Baz street fair takes over Essex Street, the Chrysler cars will accessorized to the hilt and on display near Armory Park on Friday fro m6-8:30pm, Spirits of the Gables (House of the Seven Gables) and Eerie Evenings (The Witch House) kick off on Friday night, and there are Wharf Knots to be found at Pickering Wharf.

Check the schedule at HauntedHappenings.org for everything going on this weekend. We have posted hotel availability on the Hotel link - and if you're coming mid-week, you just might be in luck. If you're looking to come for Halloween weekend, I think your best bets will be Rockport, Boston, Woburn, and Revere.

If you have some great pics from Haunted Happenings - or Salem in general - and you want me to consider posting them on the blog, send them to destinationsalem@gmail.com. I'd love to see what you've seen in Salem this month!
