If you love to celebrate Halloween’s fun and spookiness, Massachusetts is the right place to visit, especially historic Salem, Massachusetts. For hundreds of years, Salem has been connected to the idea of witches and otherworldly events after the tragic events that unfolded during the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. In more recent years, Salem has become synonymous with the celebration of Halloween every October 31st.
Salem’s Haunted Happenings, which runs throughout the month of October, includes events such as a Grand Parade, the Haunted Biz Baz Street Fair, Family Film Nights, costume balls, ghost tours, haunted houses, live music, and chilling theatrical presentations. This doesn’t even cover the museum tours, amazing food options, and (of course) the people watching as many visitors dress for the holiday.
Salem, aptly nicknamed the Witch City, has been hosting Haunted Happenings since 1982 when the event was a mere weekend happening. Now, the city anticipates well over 100,000 visitors during the month-long celebration that has something for everyone, adults and children alike.
Visiting Salem during October can be an amazing trip and one that you should plan carefully. Many tourists choose to visit in the days and weeks leading up to the night of Halloween which means they’ll need a place to stay. Rather than paying top price within Salem’s city limits during this month, many opt to stay in accommodations in the cities and towns within a short drive of Salem’s downtown, including Revere, Massachusetts, a mere ten-mile drive.
