Whether you’re a local, a longtime Haunted Happenings fan, or visiting Salem for the first time, this is your chance to be part of a 400th anniversary moment . Come for the record . Stay for the waterfront, the shops, the restaurants, & the full Salem experience. Hosted by the City of Salem, Salem Maritime National Historical Park, and Destination Salem.
