Salem Chamber announces Arts & Crafts Open Market at Essex Street Fair

The Salem Chamber of Commerce will once again be organizing the Essex Street Fair, a two-day event held in downtown Salem on Saturday, August 10, and Sunday, August 11, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

At the request of many, the Salem Chamber will create a separately juried Arts & Crafts Open Market during the Essex Street Fair weekend. If you are an artist / craftsperson, and would like to come to Salem during our busy tourist season, please send us an application.

Crafters, artisans and food vendors from in and around Salem will join local merchants in selling their wares on Essex Street & surroundings. This free event will run the length of Essex Street from the Daniel Low Building to the Hawthorne Hotel. The events are part of the Salem Heritage Days festivities.

For information on the fair, or to rent a vendor / artist space, please visit www.salem-chamber.org or contact the Salem Chamber of Commerce at (978) 744-0004.
