Pirates once sailed into Salem Harbor - these days, the @mbta_cr’s Newburyport / Rockport Line is a much easier option. 🚂 Arrive right in downtown Salem and get a head start on your @salemhauntedhappenings adventure.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Octo... oh wait, this is September! 🎃 Salem was already buzzing this weekend, and you can definitely feel the excitement building for @salemhauntedhappenings. The costumes are starting to appear, the fall energy is here, and October is getting closer by the day. If this is September, just wait until you see what’s coming next.

The pumpkins are taking over Salem Common - and these ones are made to last! 🎃 The North Shore Glass School Pumpkin Patch returns October 10th & 11th with a colorful collection of one-of-a-kind glass pumpkins, individually hand-blown by local artists. No two are exactly alike, so half the fun is wandering the patch and finding the one that speaks to you. Watch live glassblowing demonstrations, admire the incredible craftsmanship, and take home a handcrafted piece of Salem.
UPDATE!
📅 October 10 & 11th
📍 Salem Common

@goodnightfatty has you covered from dusk till dawn. 🍪 Start the day with @goodmorningchubby, their take on breakfast sandwiches made for fueling up before a day in Salem. When the sun goes down, head back for warm, freshly baked fatties in a rotating lineup of nostalgic flavors - and don’t forget the soft serve! Whether you’re fueling up before a day of exploring Salem or looking for something sweet to end the night, Goodnight Fatty has something waiting whenever the craving hits.
