Salem, MA City Spotlight

|

We’re just one day away from the spookiest night of the year, and what better way to celebrate than heading to Salem, Mass.? Salem’s ties to Halloween begin with the Salem Witch Trials more than 200 years ago. By 1982, the city had planned the first Salem Haunted Happenings Festival during Halloween weekend to provide family-friendly events for guests who were interesting in visiting the “Witch City.”

Modern day witches, haunts, and attractions now fill the city along with thousands of people during the month of October. And with all of the costumed-crowds in attendance, you’ll need somewhere to fix your vampire teeth and fill-up on snacks and fuel (or even last minute trick-or-treat candy)! So we’re taking you through the top-rated pit stops in Salem.
