Salem Mayor's Night Out

Mayor Dominick Pangallo, in partnership with Salem’s local attractions, museums, and Salem merchants, is pleased to announce that this Halloween’s “Mayors Night Out” will take place on Friday, September 27, 2024. 

Participating museums and attractions will open free of charge to Salem residents at times throughout the day (note times associated with each attraction below). Residents must provide a photo identification showing proof of Salem residency to gain free admission. Students may use a school identification card, bus pass, or a Salem Public Library card.

As part of Mayor's Night Out the Museum Place Mall Garage and the South Harbor Garage will offer free parking to Salem residents after 2:00 p.m. (proof of residency will be required when you exit the garages).

“Mayor's Night Out has become a great tradition for Salem residents,” said Mayor Pangallo. “October is a busy time for our businesses, and this is their way to say thank you to our citizens, offering a day that lets our locals enjoy Halloween before the month officially kicks off.  Salem’s business community has really embraced this program and I am pleased to announce that we have more participants than we have ever had.  I am excited to greet all the trick-or-treaters as Mayor."

There are businesses throughout downtown participating, including a number at Pickering Wharf, and residents are encouraged to visit businesses throughout our community’s downtown neighborhoods. 

The Salem law firm of Mazow | McCullough, PC, Broad Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, and National Parks Service will be on hand with some extra special surprises.  Creative Collective and their friends from Lego and the Good Witch of Salem will be returning to Mayor's Night Out, bringing along their signature photo backdrops and candy, along with some fun surprises.
