Salem's So Sweet
Salem
Salem might be known for its Halloween magic, but the annual three-day Salem's So Sweet event brings a bit of enchantment to the city every February. More than two dozen shimmering ice sculptures dot the downtown —catch the Salem Trolley tour to view them in heated comfort. A wine and chocolate tasting kicks off the event on Friday night, and merchants offer up special sweets, treats, and discounts throughout the weekend.
