The Grand Parade is on the calendar!! I love this annual tradition, it’s such a fun time. Image used is per Creative North Shore. An entire album of pictures of the 2018 parade can be found here. Details are per the Salem Chamber of Commerce:
“The Salem Chamber of Commerce cordially invites you to participate in the Annual Salem Chamber of Commerce Haunted Happenings Grand Parade on the first Thursday in October. This time honored kick off of the Halloween season is full of color, pageantry, music and the enthusiasm of thousands of Salem’s students from kindergarten to college and our local business owners. Their participation is what makes this a highly successful, cherished event for our community.”
The parade takes place this year on October 3, 2019 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. I’ll come back and update this post with the parade route and the 2019 theme once the info is confirmed. Enjoy!! <3
