Something tells us Pennywise would approve. 🎈👀 Keep your eyes open while you’re exploring Salem this October - you never know what might be waiting around the next corner. And remember, many of Salem’s incredible Halloween displays are at private homes. Enjoy the decorations and take photos from the sidewalk, but please respect residents and their property as you explore this Halloween season!

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.
