Salem Events 2025
Kimberly BallouMarch 2025 Events in
Salem, Massachusetts
Hello Strangers & Salemites! This is a list of events going on in March 2025. I am a Salem local, born in Witch city and I made this list to incorporate as many dated events as I could....knowing I am still missing so much. That is one amazing plus of our home here, there's always something going on in Salem, MA. Even if you're here for a single day or afternoon, there's something to do or see.
We have added links and times when possible, if you have additional information, see a correction to be made or an event to post please send us a message! More information can be found by visiting the social media pages of various businesses listed below. Please double check dates and times as they are subject to change based on the day, the weather, or slow sales. In the cold season, remember that a lot of businesses do not always update their hours and may leave at their whim due to lower foot traffic/crowds.
Travel Tip* If you know there are 5 shops or events you NEED to visit during your stay--you can always send a message to a business to let them know hey! You'll have customers if you'll still be open at 5pm on this date etc. Most are happy to book appointments, tours or visiting times in advance. It can be hard to keep the lights on this time of year, so a little extra communication goes a long way when making travel plans. If you missed an event and enough people message the owner about it, they may be more willing to make additional dates. Thank you for shopping small and local!
