Salem Haunted Happenings Grand Parade To Include 50 Displays

SALEM, MA — The Salem Haunted Happenings Grand Parade will include 50 displays and performers staged downtown where attendees can walk around and visit them for 2021.

The "Upside Down and Inside Out" theme was adopted for this year as a way to keep crowds moving and alleviate congestion amid the coronavirus health crisis.

The 25th Salem Chamber of Commerce event — which was canceled last year out of virus precautions — returns Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. with a series of schools, businesses and artists setting up shop in the downtown area.

The Salem Chamber of Commerce revealed the participants and where they will be stationed on Tuesday.
