Special Events / Festivals

Witch City Show & Glow Car Show - Friday night from  6pm to 8:30pm on  Essex St. near Armory Park and Saturday from 10am to 3pm at Central Wharf near the National Park Service Site .  Chrysler Cars done up with neon, flames, unique graphics and tricked out interiors will be on display.

Flatline Film Fest - Cinema Salem will be showing a series of spooky films at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays until Halloween.

Haunted Happenings Bizarre Bazaar - The Salem Chamber Haunted Happenings BizBaz is a two-day street festival in downtown Salem. The festival will feature entertainment, crafts, food and fun for all age.

Retro Zombie Ball - presented by Festival of the Dead at Finz Saturday night from 8 to 12:30.  This $95 event (plus CASH BAR) isn’t a real Zombie event as we talked about in yesterdays post, but I’m sure nobody would mind if you got dressed up. Best thing about this event is our friend DJ Addambombb will be spinning.

Insider Picks

Free is good.  So start your weekend off by checking out the Car Show after dusk.  If you are looking to get your spooky on this weekend save the $90 you’d spend on Saturday and hit DARQ Friday night.  Saturday if you live down town or are planning on heading over that way make sure you wear your battle armor as the streets will be filled with tourists and vendors alike. Saturday night keep it low key by catching a midnight horror movie at the Flatline Film Fest.  Remember people, the month of Ocotober is a marathon not a sprint.
