Salem’s So Sweet festival
You knew I was going to say it. 😛 The Salem’s So Sweet festival is one of my favorites and it’s happening this year February 11-13. Bundle up and enjoy ice sculptures, shopping incentives, a QR code challenge and more.
The Anti-Valentine’s Tour by Salem Night Tour
This tour focuses on Salem’s history but from an angle of deception, dark history and romance gone wrong. Check out the link above for my personal review of the tour.
Preview some wedding venues
Did you recently get engaged? Or maybe someone in your friends group? Thanksgiving through Valentine’s day is peak engagement season so this may be you. Take this chance to have fun in Salem with your friends and also scope out some potential wedding venues!
Pink Roses, Wild Hearts – An immersive selfie experience
“This is a handcrafted art installation designed by Linda Mullen, artist and owner of Grace & Diggs. Linda and her team have used recycled materials to create a world of flowers and other botanicals that form a walk-through environment symbolizing the spectrum of romantic love.”
Goodies from Harbor Sweets
Harbor Sweets offers all kinds of chocolates and sweets perfect for Galentine’s Day. My personal favorite is the Sweet Sloops but you might also try the Lotta Love slider box (dark chocolate heart shaped truffles) or the Hugs and Kisses (solid milk and dark chocolate hearts).
High tea at Jolie Tea Co.
Schedule a high tea reservation at Jolie Tea Co. and get fancy! Pinkies up while you enjoy delicious tea and yummy treats.
