What Halloween Is Like in Salem, Massachusetts
I Lived in Salem, and This Is What It's Really Like During Halloween
12
The weekend of Halloween, prepare for a ball like no other! A handful of restaurants, bars, and hotels host Halloween events complete with music, costume contests, Champagne toasts, and more. They're very pricey, and the most legitimate ball of them all takes place at the Hawthorne Hotel (and it sells out quickly). But if you want to enjoy a party like the one Max's parents were at in Hocus Pocus, Salem's balls are the closest things to it.
*Most of the balls are cancelled this year due to COVID-19, but keep them in mind for future Halloweens to come!
