About Sugar Candle

Sugar Candle brings handcrafted, dessert-inspired soy candles to the Haunted Happenings Marketplace in Salem, Massachusetts. This Massachusetts-based small business hand-pours every candle in small batches using soy wax, cotton wicks, and high-quality fragrance oils.

The October collection leans into the season with cozy, spooky, and pumpkin-inspired scents, alongside the customer-favorite ghost and black cat designs that shoppers return for year after year. Sugar Candle’s boutique-style booth — styled with soft lighting and seasonal decor — is designed to feel warm, festive, and a little magical, fitting naturally into Salem’s October atmosphere.

A Returning Favorite at Salem Common

Sugar Candle returns to Salem Common after seasons of welcoming familiar faces back to the booth. Many returning customers recognize the display and seek out the signature spooky designs each fall. As a returning vendor, Sugar Candle understands the flow and energy of the October market and adds a welcoming, pumpkin-season charm for locals and visitors alike.
