🎃✨ What a Night, Salem! ✨🎃

 

The 2025 Haunted Happenings Grand Parade was an incredible kickoff to the Halloween season! It was safe, fun, and full of energy!

 

A huge thank-you to our Presenting Sponsors: Salem Witch Museum, St. Jean’s Credit Union, The House of the Seven Gables, and Prime Group Shetland Park. We could not have done this without them, and their generous support.

 

We also extend our gratitude to our Banner Sponsors — Witch City Walking Tours, Coffee Time Bake Shop, Rockland Trust, The Hive Coworking Space, and Desjardin Insurance Agency for helping bring this beloved event to life.

 

A heartfelt thank-you to all of our local schools, businesses, and nonprofits who joined the parade, and to our 50+ amazing volunteers whose energy and dedication kept things running smoothly all evening. We also want to acknowledge the spectators, whose energy, cheers, and support brought the parade to life in a way we won't soon forget.

 

Special thanks to our partners at the City of Salem - Mayor’s Office and Special Events Manager Jeremy Fiske, Chief Miller and the Salem Police Department, and the Department of Public Services for ensuring public safety, setting up and taking down barriers, and leaving downtown spotless after the parade.

 

This event truly takes a village, and we’re endlessly grateful to everyone who came together to make it such a memorable night.

 

 

Here’s to an unforgettable start to Haunted Happenings!
