This year Salem Arts Association once again brings a creative twist to the tradition of celebrating Oktoberfest. With this, our second year presenting Artoberfest, we expect to set a new tradition as an annual autumn celebration of arts and music in Salem. The 2021 event drew large crowds to the Salem Maritime National Historic Site Park for a full day of music, artist live painting, drawing activities, dance, music, food, beverages, and more. We will build on last year's successful event. Salem Arts Association sees this celebration as an open call for our local community to kick back and relax with all local performers and vendors to kick off Salem's Haunted Happenings season in creative style.
