I love that Salem encourages shopping local and supporting the hundreds of amazing businesses right in town. “Festive Fridays” is an initiative by Salem Main Streets to do just that.
Per their website:
“We know how it is. You WANT to shop local, but you get home from work too late in the evenings and you’re simply too busy on the weekends. Salem Main Streets is encouraging downtown retailers to stay open late every Friday this December leading up to Christmas to help you with your holiday shopping! Each week, we’ll post a list of businesses who have committed to staying open until at least 8 pm, as well as any great deals or special treats that you can look forward to.
Our first Festive Friday will be on Dec. 1, 2017. Follow along on Facebook to see what’s happening. If you post a #selfiewithashopkeeper any Friday evening in December on Facebook or Instagram, you could win a prize from a local business!”
Good luck with the holiday shopping!
