Local retailers, restaurants, and businesses of Salem invite families to attend the 20th annual Salem’s So Sweet Chocolate & Ice Sculpture Festival.
A decadent tradition of delectable chocolate, sparkling ice sculptures, and Valentine’s Day shopping, this is Salem’s sweetest event of the year.
Sparkling ice sculptures are installed around the downtown area of Salem starting on Friday afternoon; all sculptures are installed by midday on Saturday, Feb. 12, and illuminated on Saturday night. New this year: a limited number of sculptures are to be installed and illuminated on Friday night on the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall and Lappin Park only.
The Chocolate Hearts Challenge is a chance for customers to get postcards punched by participating Salem businesses to be eligible for rewards all weekend.
