Testimonials

From supporting businesses, to facilitating arts and culture, creating access to fresh food, and celebrating events year-round, we have Salem Main Streets to thank for making our community vibrant, unique, and successful!

Mayor Dominick Pangallo

When I volunteer for Salem Main Streets, not only do I get to support the city I call home in a hands-on way, but it is also my opportunity to support the creation of more shared memories — connecting a thread from past, to present, to future generations.

Salem Main Streets’ unique initiatives not only increase foot traffic, visibility, and engagement for businesses, they enhance the vitality of our community — making Salem a must-visit destination for residents and visitors.
