A perfect day for Salem's So Sweet !!! The last of the ice sculptures are getting installed this morning, should all be in place by noon, and illuminated tonight.

Lovely and cold for the ice sculptures, still nice enough to walk around and enjoy all the great shopping and dining in downtown Salem today! VERY likely we'll be seeing lots of snow tonight into tomorrow, so get out there today to do all your Valentine's shopping and play the Chocolate Hearts challenge.

Please take the train or the ferry!!

In the first half of October we had 665,900 visits downtown, a 6.3% increase over the same period last year.

If that trend maintains we’ll likely welcome around 184,000 this weekend. has 4,000 public parking spaces, so you do the math.

If you’re coming to Salem this weekend, take the train or ferry, have a plan, and pack your patience.
