What Did Salem Residents Think Of Haunted Happenings 2021?

SALEM, MA — Salem Halloween came back in a big way this year from the coronavirus health crisis restrictions of 2020.

Now city officials are looking for resident feedback on this year's Haunted Happenings on everything from the events to public safety to communication on parking restrictions, closed roads and other aspects of the holiday month that formally kicked off with the Grand Parade on Oct. 7 and ended with fireworks on Halloween night.

A survey for residents will be available here until 11 a.m. on Nov. 12.

Residents can submit written feedback to the Office of Mayor Kimberley Driscoll at Salem City Hall, 93 Washington Street, Salem MA, 01970.

"We incorporate public feedback from our residents into our Halloween and October planning every year," said Driscoll, who was re-elected for a fifth term Tuesday night. "In all, Halloween 2021 went extremely well and that was in large part due to the input — and patience — of Salem residents.

"I hope all residents will take a few minutes to complete the survey so we can continue to improve how we manage October in the years ahead."
