With a name like Frozen Fire Festival, we figured this was something worth paying attention to. And you know how much we love going to Salem.
The weeklong New Year’s Festival is the city’s “new centerpiece for winter entertainment, seasonal shopping, dining, and drinks in the heart of downtown Salem.” From Dec. 26 through New Year’s Day, guests “will enjoy daily programming and entertainment, including live ice sculpture carvings, fire performers, live music, rotating pop-up retail and fire installations.”
“I’m so excited to welcome this fantastic event to Salem and especially to Charlotte Forten Park,” Mayor Kim Driscoll said in a statement. “The family-friendly Salem Frozen Fire Festival will have something for everyone, bringing the community together in Salem’s newest park in the heart of our bustling downtown. I encourage everyone to come down, try your hand at curling, warm up by the fire with some hot chocolate, and get ready to ring in the new year.”

It brings together artisan vendors, food and beverage, interactive activities and spectator performances in a beautiful park space along the waterfront.”
