Salem is going to the dogs (and cats and lizards and bunnies), and we couldn’t be happier about it! Salem Main Streets presents October’s most adorable event, the Howl-o-ween Pet Parade to be held on Derby Wharf, Salem Maritime National Historic Site.
The event will include an area with information on local rescues and pet-focused downtown businesses, and most importantly, a parade and costume contest with prizes.
Pets of all species are welcome but should be well-behaved and comfortable at a busy event where there are likely to be many dogs. The parade is rain or shine.
Costumed critters and creative competition!

Free to the public, $5 (locals) and $10 (out-of-towners) for pet registration.
