Beer by the water is always a good idea.🍺 @notchbrewing serves German and Czech-inspired beer and food from its brewery and biergarten right along Salem’s Harborwalk. Add a waterfront walk before or after and make an afternoon of it.

Are you feeling lucky? 🎩✨ Misfortune: Salem’s Parlor Magic Experience brings close-up magic, immersive storytelling, superstition, and sleight-of-hand together inside the intimate @salemathenaeum. Magician @evannorthrup puts your fate in your hands during this hour-long theatrical experience, where the magic happens close enough to touch and seating is intentionally limited. Catch the final performances of the season on October 10th & 11th, with shows at 5:30 pm and 7 pm. Recommended for ages 13+.

Calling all costumed critters! 🎃 The Howl-o-ween Pet Parade takes over Derby Wharf on Saturday, October 10th, and dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, and other well-behaved pets are invited to show off their Halloween looks. Join
@salemmainstreets for registration at 10:30 am, with the parade stepping off around 11 am and costume judging immediately after.
This year’s festivities will also include the inauguration of Salem’s new Dog Mayor, Joni, and Deputy Dog Mayor, Roger! 🐶 Advance registration is highly recommended, so get those costumes ready and prepare for one seriously adorable morning on the waterfront.

All work and no play... oh wait, this isn’t The Shining. 👀 This is the @hauntedspeakeasy! On October 24th, step inside historic @hamiltonhallsalem for a night of Roaring Twenties glamour with a delightfully haunted twist. Think live music, burlesque, vintage dancing, Prohibition-inspired cocktails, ghostly encounters, and plenty of reasons to dress for the occasion. Gather your most glamorous - and ghastly - crew and get ready to party like it’s 1926.
