If you have been following my content for any length of time, you definitely know that. \ud83d\ude42 The festival this year is February 9-11 so it\u2019s this coming weekend. Enjoy the kick off event, walk around to all of the ice sculptures, enjoy them being lit up at night, enjoy shopping incentives and bonuses through downtown Salem and so much more. This festival has become more and more popular every single year and I know you\u2019ll love it. Grab hot chocolate from Blackcraft to kick off your time here and enjoy the festivities! If you aren\u2019t able to make it for the festival, be sure to head back here to my blog on February 19th for images of every single sculpture. I have been covering this festival for the last 6 years, this will be my 7th year.<\/p>\n<h5>Dining in Salem<\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31366 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-540x720.jpg 540w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-408x544.jpg 408w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-255x340.jpg 255w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-555x740.jpg 555w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-262x349.jpg 262w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-18x24.jpg 18w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-27x36.jpg 27w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-36x48.jpg 36w, https:\/\/thingstodoinsalem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/unnamed-534x712.jpg 534w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This one is simple enough \u2013 grab lunch or dinner with your special person in downtown Salem.

If you\u2019re looking for a breakfast spot, I\u2019d suggest Salem\u2019s Retreat. It has become a personal favorite of mine with its greasy spoon vibes and cozy interior.
