SALEM – The City of Salem invites Salem families to celebrate “Trick or Turkey,” a free community event on Friday, November 20, 2026 from 4:00pm to 5:30pm at the Sarah Parker Remond School (211 Lafayette Street, Salem).
This event is a rescheduled celebration of “Trick or Treat with the Mayor,” which was postponed in September due to inclement weather. Children are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes, though dressing up is optional, and come by any time between 4pm and 5:30pm for free candy and other giveaways from local Salem businesses and organizations. All are welcome.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a non-expired, shelf-stable Thanksgiving donation for the Salem Pantry, which will be in attendance to collect items for neighbors in need during the holiday season.
Participating organizations offering candy and giveaways will include:
- Salem 400+
- The Mayor’s Office
- Destination Salem
- The Salem Pantry
- Creative Collective
- Mazow McCullough
- And more
Any businesses or organizations interested in participating in “Trick or Turkey” should reach out to Jeremy Fiske at jfiske@salem.com.
