Art will heal us and help us recover from the challenges we have and continue to face. Arts and Culture are an integral part of day-to-day life in Salem and this annual festival has become a source of pride and revenue for hundreds of creative professionals and a major economic boost to the local community with over 6000 attendees annually. Through the COVID crisis the creative community has really stepped up to help us get through a lot of challenges and the Salem Main Streets, Creative Collective, and the City of Salem has worked to find ways that we can support the creative community and contribute to the wellness of our City with the Festival as a platform and as an event.
