In their world. They actively draw on influences from nearly every continent in their unique roots-rock-reggae repertoire.

Gatto Belly Dance Troupe (1:00 – 1:30)

“Gatto”, is an American Tribal Style® or ATS belly dance troupe based out of Salem, MA.  ATS is an improvisational form where dancers take turns leading and following, using cues and a common vocabulary of moves to create a dance that looks choreographed but is not. Everything is created in the moment and no two performances are alike.

Gatto consists of all experience levels, with some dancers performing for the first time today.

The Tree of Care + Wonder

Join Public Artist in Residence on Artists’ Row (PAiR) for the 2023 season, Claudia Paraschiv, for conversation and art-making workshops to create the Tree of Care + Wonder / Árbol del Cuidado + del Maravillas, a large scale sculpture of a whimsical tree featuring migrant stories and a magical canopy!

The Tree of Care + Wonder / Árbol del Cuidado + del Maravillas will transform streets in Salem into community spaces of art and friendship to demonstrate the potential of streets to do more than move cars: local artists (poets, visual, musicians, dance, and theatre) will collaborate to produce civic-art events centered on migration stories, food memories, local history, and novel visions of how a future city might take care of and bring wonder to its residents. A gallery retrospective will be held in November/December 2023 on Artists’ Row/Old Town Hall.

Food & Beer Garden

Bring your appetite and Thirst! We’re excited to include PigPen’s BBQ and the Notch Brewing Beer Garden.

Notch Mobile Biergarten

Notch Brewing is bringing the taste of the Taproom to Artoberfest.

Notch was the first brewing company in the U.S. to focus exclusively on session beer. Session beer has been enjoyed in every great beer brewing nation for centuries, yet in the U.S. it was overlooked. So Notch set out to brew the world’s classic session styles, as well as explore how session beer could fit with the U.S.’s hoppy beer infatuation.
