Winter Holiday Traditions
Salem Main Street Association’s long-time dream of bringing the holiday spirit into our downtown is happening! Through seasonal decorations, we aim to create an ambiance that will attract more shoppers and build a community atmosphere for all who visit. Our goal is to center this holiday event in the heart of our beloved downtown, anchored in tradition with a grand display of lights and greenery.
