Join us in celebrating art and creativity’s healing and unifying power at the 16th annual Salem Arts Festival 2024, June 7-9. This vibrant event, deeply woven into Salem’s daily life, is a testament to the role of arts and culture in our community. A major economic driver, the festival draws over 7500 attendees yearly, significantly benefiting local creative professionals and the broader community.
The Salem Arts Festival, a dynamic showcase of art, music, dance, and theatre, takes place throughout downtown Salem. It’s a family-friendly affair offering various activities: outdoor performances, hands-on art creation for all ages, local artisans and makers selling their work, pop-up art exhibitions in local businesses, a live mural slam on Artists Row, and an ephemeral public art installation.
