About this event
Salem Haunted Happenings is a month-long Halloween celebration across the city, called one of the world's largest and drawing more than 1 million visitors for history, culture, creativity, and Halloween fun. Witch Hats on the Wharf invites residents and visitors onto Derby Wharf for a community photo and world-record attempt. The Howl-o-ween Pet Parade and the Salem Night Faire, set in the pines of Pioneer Village, round out the month.
Our take: Be on Derby Wharf for Witch Hats on the Wharf if a spot in the world-record community photo is the priority.
Good to know
Howl-o-ween Pet Parade entries register separately.
