Salem is truly going to the dogs, cats, lizards, and bunnies! This year’s Salem Main Streets Howl-o-ween Pet Parade welcomes pets of all species, promising a diverse and delightful procession of animal companions. Whether your best friend has fur, scales, or feathers, they can strut their stuff at this fantastic fall event.
