Ways to Get to Salem
Haunted Happenings
Nearly half a million people make the trek to Salem to celebrate Halloween every October. Haunted Happenings, a highlight of these spooky celebrations, features a parade, a street fair, film nights, ghost tours, costume balls, haunted houses, and live music.
This year, many Haunted Happenings events have been scaled back due to COVID-19. The MBTA will not be running additional Commuter Rail trains on the Newburyport/Rockport Line this year.
