Launch Your New Year's Eve in Salem

SALEM, MA - The City of Salem and Salem Main Streets are teaming up to throw LAUNCH!, our third annual New Year’s Eve party, on Thursday, Dec. 31 from 4 pm to 6 pm at Old Town Hall and Derby Square.

“When we organized LAUNCH! for the first time, it was immediately clear that this needed to be an annual tradition where the community could truly come together,” states Kylie Sullivan, Salem Main Streets’ Executive Director. “Plus, there’s still plenty of time after our early countdown to get to your own party, or catch one of the many other great events happening all over town on New Year’s Eve!”

Attendees can rock the night away with local musical favorites, including The Dejas, BlacKat, and Kevin William, as well as a number of “rising star” teen musicians from the Salem YMCA, OnPoint Program, and the Plummer Home. There will be New Year’s Eve related activities and crafts for kids of all ages, thanks to event partners like The Gathering, The Phoenix School, and Creative Salem.

This event is free to all and family-friendly, with a $5 suggested donation to help support Salem Main Streets’ “Holiday Happenings” initiatives, including the wreaths and ribbons around the downtown, the Holiday Tree, and LAUNCH!

There will be an early countdown promptly at 6 pm.
